See whether your microphone is detected and responding. Audio is analyzed live in this tab and is never recorded or uploaded.

Your browser asks for microphone permission only when you start. Stopping the test immediately releases the microphone.

Get a cleaner answer

  • Repeat the interaction if you want to confirm a fault.

Useful context

Common questions

Is my microphone audio uploaded or saved?

No. The stream is analyzed locally in the browser and is stopped when you press Stop or leave the page.

Why does the device name appear only after permission?

Browsers commonly hide detailed media-device labels until the user grants access to protect privacy.

Troubleshooting

Fix common problems

The microphone is quiet or not detected

  1. 1Allow microphone access in the browser site settings, then reload this page.
  2. 2Select the intended microphone in system sound settings and raise its input level without clipping.
