When testing your microphone, good results typically fall within the 40-70% range on the visualization meter. This indicates adequate audio pickup and clarity. If results are consistently below 40%, it may signal issues with your microphone, such as low gain or interference. Warning signs include distortion or intermittent audio capture, suggesting hardware problems or connection issues. To troubleshoot, consider checking your microphone settings, ensuring it's selected as the default input device, and verifying that no other applications are monopolizing the audio input.

On Windows 10/11, navigate to 'Settings' > 'System' > 'Sound.' Here, you can manage input devices and adjust volume levels. Ensure your microphone is enabled and selected as the default device. In browsers like Chrome and Edge, make sure you allow microphone access when prompted.
