Once you complete the microphone online test, you will receive visual feedback about your microphone's performance. A good result typically shows audio levels between 40-70%. If the levels are consistently low, this may indicate issues such as the microphone being too far away, low gain settings, or even a defective microphone. Warning signs include no audio visualization, which suggests potential hardware or permission issues. Ensure you check your device settings, microphone permissions, and connections to troubleshoot effectively.

For Windows 10/11 users, testing your microphone involves navigating to Settings > System > Sound. Under 'Input,' ensure the correct microphone is selected. Allow browser access to the microphone via Chrome or Edge by checking settings under Privacy > Microphone. If you're using third-party software, ensure that it does not interfere with browser permissions. Real-time visualization will work seamlessly if permissions are correctly set.

On a Mac, go to System Preferences > Sound > Input to select your microphone. Ensure it’s not muted and that the input volume is adequately set. For testing in Safari or Chrome, make sure you grant microphone access when prompted. Additionally, check Security & Privacy settings to confirm the browser has permissions to utilize the microphone. This ensures your microphone online test runs smoothly.

To test your microphone on mobile devices, open Safari on iOS or Chrome on Android. Ensure you grant microphone permissions when prompted. For iOS, go to Settings > Safari > Microphone and verify permissions. On Android, ensure Chrome has access to the microphone under App Permissions.
