Understanding Your Results

A good result will show levels between 40-70% indicating your microphone is functioning properly and capturing audio effectively. If levels are consistently low or flat, this may indicate that your microphone is not picking up sound adequately. Warning signs may include distorted peaks or clips, suggesting issues with gain settings or hardware. If you encounter issues, try switching devices or checking your microphone's physical connections. Always ensure to adjust settings within Yandex Browser for optimal performance during live sessions.
Testing on Windows
To test your microphone on Windows while using Yandex Browser, first ensure your microphone is set as the default device. Go to 'Settings' > 'System' > 'Sound' and check the input devices. Make sure to grant Yandex Browser permission to access your microphone; you can do this in 'Settings' > 'Privacy' > 'Microphone'. Ensure your browser is up-to-date to leverage the latest features of the Web Audio API. If you encounter issues, check for conflicting applications that may be using the microphone and adjust the volume levels accordingly. This setup ensures a smooth testing experience.
Testing on Mac
For Mac users testing their microphone on Yandex Browser, navigate to 'System Preferences' > 'Sound' > 'Input' to confirm that your microphone is selected.
