If the audio bars move and the input level rises while you speak, the browser is receiving a microphone signal. A short recording and playback is the clearest way to check volume, noise, dropouts and how your voice sounds to other people.
The bars are moving
Your microphone input is detected. Speak at a normal volume and check whether the meter responds consistently.
The recording sounds clear
Your mic is working at a basic level. You can now adjust it for meetings, gaming, streaming or voice chat.
The audio is quiet or noisy
Confirm the selected microphone, then check mic distance, system input volume and noise suppression settings.
What to do if your microphone is not working
1. Check browser permission
Open the site controls beside the address bar, allow microphone access and reload the page.
2. Select the correct microphone
Choose the built-in mic, USB microphone or headset microphone you actually want to test.
3. Check mute and connections
Check the headset mute switch, USB cable, Bluetooth connection and operating-system input level.
4. Close other audio apps
Close Discord, Zoom, games or recording software that may already be using the microphone, then restart the test.
How to test your microphone
To start the microphone test, first allow microphone access in your browser. Then select your microphone and use live monitoring to hear your voice in real time, or create a recording to hear how you sound to other people. This allows you to quickly determine whether your microphone is working, whether the volume is sufficient and whether the audio contains distortion.
1. Allow microphone access
When your browser asks for permission, allow access to your microphone.
2. Check your voice
Use live monitoring to test your microphone's real-time performance.
3. Record and listen
Create a short recording to evaluate more clearly how your voice sounds to other people.
Microphone test frequently asked questions
What does an online microphone test do?
It checks whether microphone input is detected and lets you review the live level, record your voice and listen to the result. It is useful before meetings, gaming, streaming and voice chat.
Why is my microphone not working?
Browser permission may be blocked, the wrong input device may be selected, the mic may be muted or another application may already be using it.
Can I test a headset microphone online?
Yes. Wired, USB and Bluetooth headset microphones can be selected and tested when they appear as input devices.
Can I test my phone microphone?
Yes. The built-in microphone can be tested in supported mobile browsers after microphone permission is granted.
Why is my microphone volume too low?
Low system input volume, selecting the wrong mic, distance from the microphone, connection issues or noise suppression can reduce the detected level.
Why does live monitoring sound different from the recording?
Browser, driver, echo cancellation and noise reduction processing can make live monitoring sound different from recorded playback.
Are my audio recordings stored on a server?
No. Audio created during the test is not permanently stored on the server, and the test session ends when you leave the page.
