Hearing Audio While Scrolling W/ Keys (or rather, Not Hearing)

Question

OK so I am not an audio engineer or audio anything. I have a very simple project I told someone I'd help them with because ... how different could STP and FCP controls be?
All I want to do is hear the audio on the track as I push the forward and/or backward keys. In my old radio class that was called "rocking the reels" thereby hearing the audio/speech at the rate you can mentally process where a splice should go. Does STP really not offer this simple feature? I've looked everywhere and it seems like this is the case! This is madness!
Forward arrow key lets you leisurely go forward at your own pace, and back arrow key goes back? You can hear the audio this way? Seriously it's not available?
I take full responsibility for this dumb question but as I said - I don't "do audio." I am a videographer.
Also probably doesn't help that I'm on some old STP 1.1 version does it? But seriously, who doesn't offer a reel rocker? I mean heck, even FCP has that!
Talk to me.

I don't think it's available exactly as you describe, but you can use the scrub tool, so that when you click/drag it scrubs the audio.
Arrow keys make sense in FCP, where you can only step at the frame level, but less so in STP, where you can edit at sample level, if you need to.
