Microphone name

Press the “Check” button.
Allow access — click “Allow” in the browser when the site requests microphone access.
Say a few words into the microphone. For example: “Testing, one-two-three. How do you hear me?”
Watch the indicator. If a colored bar or wave moves in time with your speech — then there is a signal and the device is working.
Make sure the sound is clear, without noise or distortion.

There’s a connection problem. The cable isn’t fully connected or is faulty. Check the connection, try a different USB port, audio jack, or replace the cable.
The browser isn’t requesting access to the microphone. Access to the microphone is blocked by default in the website settings. Click the lock icon in the address bar and manually toggle “Microphone” to “Allow.”
The volume level is too low (the bar barely moves). The device is not selected by default or the system audio gain is minimal. Go to your OS (Windows / macOS) sound settings and increase the volume for the input signal. Check whether the microphone is set as the primary one.
Crackling, distortion, or a strong background noise are heard. Electromagnetic interference or automatic gain is enabled. Disable “Microphone Boost” in your sound card drivers. If the microphone is USB, try connecting it to a different port.
Driver issues. Outdated or corrupted sound card drivers are interfering with the microphone. Update your drivers through Device Manager (Windows) or the manufacturer’s website.
Microphone is in use by another application. Another application (Zoom, Discord, etc.) is already using the microphone. Close all programs that may be accessing the microphone and try again.
Hardware failure. If none of these methods help, the microphone may be faulty. Connect it to another computer—if the problem persists, the device requires repair or replacement.
