When testing your microphone, results are displayed through real-time audio visualization. A good result typically shows a consistent audio level between 40-70%, indicating a stable input signal. If the visualization shows spikes or irregular patterns, you may have issues with gain settings or background noise. Warning signs like low volume or distortion may require adjusting your microphone position, checking hardware connections, or selecting a different microphone. If results are unsatisfactory, consider retesting with different settings or troubleshooting hardware.
