Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need to allow microphone access?

Microphone access is required to test your audio input device. The tool needs permission to access your microphone to verify it's working correctly. This permission is only used for testing and no audio is recorded or stored.

What if my microphone is not detected?

If your microphone is not detected, check that it's properly connected, not muted, and that your browser has permission to access it. You may also need to check your system's audio settings or try a different microphone.

Is my audio being recorded or stored?

No, your audio is not recorded or stored. The microphone test tool only checks if your microphone is working and accessible. All audio processing happens locally in your browser and is not transmitted or saved anywhere.

What browsers support the microphone test?

The microphone test works with modern browsers that support WebRTC, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Make sure you're using an updated version of your browser for the best compatibility.

How can I improve my microphone quality?

To improve microphone quality, ensure your microphone is positioned correctly (6-12 inches from your mouth), reduce background noise, check that your microphone is not muted, and use a good quality microphone if possible.

How do I select a specific microphone?

Use the "Select Microphone" dropdown to choose from available audio input devices. The tool will automatically detect all connected microphones and audio input devices. Select the one you want to test from the list.

What should I do if the test fails?

If the test fails, check your browser permissions, ensure your microphone is connected and not muted, try refreshing the page, or test with a different microphone. You may also need to check your system's audio settings.
