When testing your microphone, results are typically displayed as a visual waveform alongside numerical input levels. Good results fall within the range of 40-70% on the input level meter. If your levels are consistently below this range, it indicates that your microphone may not be functioning optimally. Look for warning signs such as distorted audio or no input detected. In such cases, check your microphone connection, ensure it is selected correctly in the tool, and verify that any physical mute switches are disengaged. If problems persist, consider trying a different microphone or reviewing your device's audio settings.
