Ready to test your microphone

Your browser will ask for microphone permission. Audio is processed locally and never sent to any server.

Troubleshooting
  • • If no permission prompt appears, check your browser's site settings for this page
  • • On Chrome/Edge: click the lock icon in the address bar → Microphone → Allow
  • • On macOS: System Preferences → Security & Privacy → Microphone → enable your browser
  • • If volume stays at 0%, check that the correct microphone is set as default in OS settings

How This Online Microphone Test Works

This microphone test online uses the browser's getUserMedia API to access your microphone and the Web Audio AnalyserNode to measure input levels and visualize the waveform in real time. Audio is processed entirely in your browser — nothing is recorded or transmitted. The volume percentage is calculated from the RMS of the audio signal, and the waveform canvas updates at up to 60 frames per second.

Microphone Types & Compatibility

USB Microphones

Plug-and-play with built-in DAC. Works with any browser on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Shown as "USB Audio Device" or by brand name.

Built-in Laptop Mics

Supported on all platforms. Typically lower quality with higher background noise pickup. Check gain settings if volume is too low.

Headset / Combo Jack

TRRS 3.5mm combo jacks (headphone + mic) work on most devices. Separate TRS mic jacks require a splitter or USB adapter on newer laptops.

Audio Interface Mics

XLR microphones connected via USB audio interface appear as a USB device and work seamlessly. Set interface as default input in OS settings.
