Having found this new add-on a noteworthy addition, I thought it would be cool to talk about the right way to test microphone audio processing modes on Windows 11. Keep reading…
Test Microphone Audio Processing Modes on Windows 11 Like a Pro
So, how does testing the microphone audio processing modes work on Windows? Located inside the Sound section exists an option to set your mic for a quick test. To begin with, you need to speak to the mic in order to record a sample and then play the sample to check whether or not it’s in line with what you are expecting. Yeah, the whole process feels pretty intuitive and straightforward, thereby allowing you to go about the job at your own scale and pace.
If you are concerned about any after-effects, let me assure you that the “Microphone test” is specifically designed for testing purposes. So, reset assured that it won’t have any negative impact on the audio processing settings on your Windows device.
- First off, hit the Start button on your computer and choose Settings to proceed.
- When you are inside the Settings, ensure that the System tab is selected in the left sidebar.
- Now, head to the Sound page located on the right side.
- After that, hit the “Choose a device for speaking or recording” option.
- Next, select the microphone that you would like to test.
- Next up, click on the “Microphone test” option.
- Up next, select the “Default” test mode.
- Then, hit the Start test button and you are all set!
- It’s time to speak to the mic to record a sample of your voice.
- Once you have recorded your voice, click the Play button that shows in the “Recorded sample” setting.
- After that, hit the test mode “Communications.”
- Once again, hit the Play button in the “Recorded sample” section and that’s about it!
I hope you have gone through the process with precision. At the end of the test, you will be able to clearly tell how the audio will be processed on your device and whether or not it’s going to meet your requirements.
