When you test your voice, the results will show the audio levels in real-time, typically represented visually through waveforms. A good result is generally indicated by audio levels ranging from 40-70%, suggesting clear and audible sound. If the levels are consistently below 40%, it may indicate issues such as low microphone sensitivity or incorrect settings. Warning signs include distorted audio or peaks that reach maximum levels, potentially indicating clipping, which can degrade sound quality. If you face these issues, consider adjusting your microphone's gain settings, moving closer to the microphone, or selecting a different device.

For Windows 10 and 11 users, testing your microphone involves accessing the Sound settings. Navigate to Settings > System > Sound. Ensure your microphone is listed under 'Input' devices and set as the default. Check privacy settings under Settings > Privacy > Microphone to confirm that applications are allowed to use the microphone. Most modern browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, are compatible. If issues arise, check if your microphone is muted or if the volume levels are appropriately set.

Mac users can test their microphone through System Preferences. Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Sound, then select the 'Input' tab.
