Interpreting your microphone test results is crucial for ensuring effective communication. A good result is typically in the range of 40-70%, indicating that your microphone is capturing sound adequately. If your levels are too low (below 40%), ensure that your microphone is not muted, and check the volume settings on your device. Warning signs might include distorted audio or a lack of visualization in the waveform. If you encounter these issues, consider troubleshooting hardware connections, adjusting input levels, or checking for background noise interference. Always conduct a playback test to evaluate the audio quality.
