Your squad can't hear your callouts on Discord or in-game chat? Don't let a faulty mic ruin your game. Test it before you launch.

For Troubleshooting Old Gear
Is your trusty old microphone suddenly silent? It might be a driver issue, a loose cable, or worse. A quick test helps you diagnose if the hardware itself is the problem.
For Laptop & Built-in Mics
Not sure if your laptop's built-in microphone is active or if you've switched to your connected headset? A simple test instantly tells you which mic is currently capturing audio.
For Windows Users
After a Windows 10/11 update, microphone settings can sometimes change unexpectedly. A quick test confirms your privacy settings and default devices are correctly configured.
For macOS Users
Navigating the macOS Sound settings in System Preferences can be tricky. Use our tool to instantly verify your mic's input volume and permissions after updates or setup changes.
For Browser-Specific Issues
Sometimes, the issue isn't your mic, but the browser's permission settings. Our test helps you determine if the problem lies with Chrome, Firefox, or Safari.
