About Online Mic Test

An online mic test is used to check your device's microphone directly from your web browser. Also, it's 100% safe to use. All the process takes place at your browser and nothing is sent to the web servers. In addition, we don't store or collect any type of voice recordings on our web server. The core purpose of this tool is to provide a free and easy-to-use platform for testing the microphones. That's it.

How Does the Online Microphone Test Works?

• For the process to begin, it will need access to your device's microphone. When you press on "Start Testing" button, it will ask for microphone access. So, you need to allow it to get started. If you block the mic access, you can't test it properly. So, make sure it should be allowed.
• After choosing allow, you can see the voice recording starts immediately. Now you need to speak something with your mic for 15 seconds.
• When 15 seconds are over, you can hear your recorded voice played back.
• If you can hear your voice properly, your microphone works fine. If not then you need to check your mic settings or you can go through the troubleshooting guide to fix the issue.

Troubleshooting Guide

So, you found that your mic is not working after checking on the microphone test tool. Don't worry. You can follow these simple and quick solutions to trace and fix the issue with your microphone.

1. Microphone access blocked

When the microphone access is blocked the tool can never record voice and in the end, you will think that there is some problem with your mic.

Don't worry, you can again allow the permission after skipping or blocking the request. Just go to your browser settings and look for the option to enable microphone access to the site. In the latest browsers, you can see the option directly on the search bar.

2. Distorted sound

If you hear distorted or low-quality sound during the playback, there must be too much noise in the background. Try testing by moving to a silent place. If you are at a silent place and still hear noise then there must be some internal issue with the mic.

3. Missing drivers

Sometimes, the microphone does not work because the operating system couldn't find the proper drivers. So, make sure all the required drivers are installed properly. You can install or update the drivers of your microphone by going to the device manager on your PC.

4. Connection problem

If you are using an external microphone, check whether the plug of the mic is attached perfectly or not. Also, check for any kind of loose wiring or tear.

5. The microphone is being already used by another application

Close all other applications that are using the microphone and then try using the mic test tool. As in many devices, multiple applications are not allowed to use the microphone at the same time.
