An easy microphone check is available on this web resource. At the top of this page there is an online application, thanks to which you can check the performance of your microphone.

The microphone verification process takes place using analysis directly in the browser. You can check the microphone yourself, due to the signal graph, which displays the volume of incoming sound. The scale is located on the right side of the page – it is easy to determine the breakdown by it.

How the microphone check works

Microphone verification using our online service is carried out according to the following algorithm:

  • Allow recording. When you start the verification system, it will need access to the microphone. This is a standard browser feature that the program uses, so your security is not at risk. When the notification appears, allow the use of the equipment.
  • Speak or create sounds. Say a phrase, whistle, click your fingers or create any other sound so that the service can check the microphone.
  • Look at the results of the check. After the program gets access, it will constantly analyze the signal and also display its strength. If the results window says that the microphone is working fine, then there are no problems with the equipment.
  • If there is no sound. This situation occurs for 3 reasons. First of all, see if the device is being tracked correctly. It is indicated at the bottom under the signal visualizer. If necessary, replace the recording device with the desired one. The second reason is the low volume. This is typical for older laptops. In the settings, increase its volume or add gain. You can also use the vertical slider in the interface.

If none of the above tips solved the problem, then the matter is with the microphone itself – it may not be connected to the computer, incorrectly configured, turned off by hardware, or simply break down.

Make sure that the connection is correct, update the drivers or use other devices. Sometimes the problem is hidden in USB or mini-Jack ports. Connect via the connector. Or maybe it's the hardware settings: the volume is set to "0". In this case, it is enough to open the parameters and move the slider to an acceptable level.
