Microphone check

Being busy at work and school does not allow us to properly devote time to family and friends. Sometimes video calls are the way out of the situation. Skype or Whatsapp or other similar programs. But what if you get through, but the other person can’t hear you at all? What is the problem? In the microphone or in the program itself? This can be easily checked using special online tests on the Internet.

Before we begin presenting resources, let's look at the possible reasons why the microphone refuses to work. For some, they may seem overly simple and silly, but keep in mind that users have different skills with the computer and the included devices.

The most popular reasons why the microphone does not work:

1.The microphone is not connected to the computer. Even if the plug is in the required hole, still check that it is inserted all the way.

2.The microphone cable is faulty, possibly broken. To make sure, borrow a microphone from your neighbors and check the connection.

3.The device is disabled in Device Manager.

4.Sometimes during a call the microphone does not work only because it is busy with another process. Check to see if there is a program running that uses this device. Or simply restart your computer and try making the call again.

5.If you use browser to make a call, you must give him access to the microphone.

6.Sometimes the user does not even realize that the computer does not have a built-in microphone. In order to be able to communicate, in this case you should purchase it.

Now let's move on to the testing itself

Before recording, you are prompted with your system's default microphone. If another one is currently in use, it should be changed by clicking the “Change” button.



Then click on the record button.



We provide the plugin with access to our microphone.



After which the recording will begin instantly. It is limited to 7 minutes.
