Understanding Your Results

Interpreting your microphone test results is essential for effective troubleshooting. A good result typically ranges from 40-70% audio visualization on our tool. If your visualization falls below this threshold, it indicates potential issues with your microphone or setup. Warning signs include erratic audio spikes, which may suggest interference or hardware faults. To resolve these, check your microphone connections, adjust gain settings, and ensure your microphone is not muted. If results are unsatisfactory, consider testing with another device or microphone type to isolate the problem.

Testing on Windows

For Windows 10 or 11 users, microphone testing starts in the Sound settings. Right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar and select 'Sounds.' Navigate to the 'Recording' tab to ensure your microphone is enabled and set as the default device. Adjust properties under 'Levels' to optimize your input gain.
