If you click "Start Mic Test" and nothing happens or the visualizer doesn't move, here's a checklist to follow:

  • Check Permissions: The first time you use the tool, your browser will show a pop-up asking for microphone access. You must click "Allow" for the test to work.
  • Check Device Settings: Make sure your microphone is enabled in your device's operating system settings (Windows, macOS, Android, iOS).
  • Unplug and Re-plug: If you're using an external microphone or headset, try unplugging it and plugging it back in.
  • Try a Different Browser: Some browsers or browser extensions can block microphone access. Try running the test in a different browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari).
  • Check Your Mute Button: Some physical headsets have a mute button. Ensure it is not activated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this microphone test safe?

Yes. This test runs entirely in your browser and does not record or store any of your audio. The only purpose is to process the live sound data to animate the visualizer and give you a result.

Does this work on all devices?

This tool is compatible with any modern device that has a built-in or connected microphone, including desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. It works with most major browsers.

What do the bars mean?

The animated bars are a visual representation of the sound input. When you speak, the height of the bars shows the volume or amplitude of the sound picked up by your microphone.
