After running the microphone test, results are displayed visually and audibly. A good result typically shows a consistent audio waveform, indicating your microphone is picking up sound well, generally within a range of 40-70%. If the waveform is erratic or minimal, it indicates issues like low sensitivity or muted settings. Warning signs include very low audio levels or distortion, which may require adjusting your microphone gain or checking device connections. If results are unsatisfactory, consider troubleshooting potential hardware or software issues based on your device settings.
