After performing a microphone test, results will be displayed as visual graphs and audio playback. A good result typically shows sound levels fluctuating between 40-70%, indicating that your microphone is functioning well. If the sound levels are low or absent, this may suggest issues such as muted settings, incorrect device selection, or hardware problems. Warning signs include distorted sound or irregular spikes in the audio visualization. In such cases, check your microphone connection, ensure it's selected as the active device, and adjust volume settings on your computer or in-app. If problems persist, consider using a different microphone for testing.
