CVR specifics

Hi, Everyone. Been reading these 11 threads from the beginning of this tragedy. Finally registered in order to ask what (hopefully) is not taken as a stupid question: is the CVR audio purely mic driven or are the C-chord, stall cricket and other audio alerts wired directly into the box? I doubt they are wired in, but if it were the case and the electronics were going haywire, it could explain why the crew never acknowledged the alarms (requiring speaker failure) while still existing on the CVR... Speaking of that, I do still wonder why the BEA neglected to include the "one hour sleep" reference and if there is more to the "privacy" excuses re CVR, legit or not.
