When testing your earphone microphone, a good result typically falls between 40-70% on the input meter. A reading in this range indicates that your microphone is functioning adequately for most applications. If the levels are below 40%, consider checking your connection, ensuring permissions are allowed, or adjusting the volume settings. If you see warning signs like fluctuating levels or no response, it may indicate hardware issues or incorrect device selection. Always perform a re-test after making adjustments to confirm improvements.
