When using the audio tester, results are displayed in real time through audio waveforms. Good results will show a consistent waveform with peaks that indicate a strong signal, typically in the 40-70% range. If your levels are too low or show irregular patterns, it may indicate issues such as a poorly connected microphone, incorrect settings, or environmental noise interference. For optimal audio quality, ensure that you are speaking clearly and directly into the microphone and consider adjusting your input gain settings in your system preferences.
