Test your microphone online
This free mic test checks whether your microphone is working — right in your browser, with no download and no signup. Press Test my microphone, allow access when your browser asks, then speak. If the green-to-red volume bar moves and the waveform reacts to your voice, your microphone is working correctly.
How it works (3 steps)
- Click Test my microphone.
- Click Allow in the permission popup.
- Speak — watch the volume bar and waveform respond.

Nothing is recorded, stored or uploaded. The audio and video streams are processed entirely on your device using the browser's Web Audio and MediaDevices APIs, then discarded the moment you press Stop or close the tab. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Microphone not working? Troubleshooting
Quick checks
- Make sure the mic is plugged in and not muted (check any physical mute switch).
- If you denied permission, click the camera/mic icon in the address bar and allow it, then retry.
- Pick the right input device from the dropdown above.
- Close other apps (Zoom, Teams, Discord) that may be holding the microphone.
Windows
Settings → System → Sound → Input: pick the correct device and check the input level. Settings → Privacy & security → Microphone: make sure browser access is allowed.
macOS
System Settings → Privacy & Security → Microphone: enable your browser. System Settings → Sound → Input: select the right device.
App-specific (Discord / Zoom / Teams)
If the mic works here but not in a meeting app, the device choice inside that app is wrong. See our Discord, Zoom and Teams guides.
FAQ
Is my audio recorded or uploaded?
No. Everything is processed locally in your browser. Nothing is recorded, stored or uploaded.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It runs in your browser with no download or signup.
Why does it ask for permission?
Browsers require explicit permission to access the microphone or camera. The test cannot read your mic until you click Allow. This page must also be served over HTTPS.
