✅ Common Causes and Fixes
| What Might Be Wrong | What You Can Do |
|---|---|
| Mic volume is too low in settings | Manually increase mic input level (mic gain) in your device settings. |
| Wrong mic is selected | Make sure the correct microphone is chosen in your browser or app settings. |
| Mic is muted | Unmute your mic from the browser, operating system, or physical mute button (if any). |
| Browser or app doesn’t have mic permissions | Allow mic access in your browser settings for the specific site. |
| Faulty or low-quality mic | Try switching to a headset or external mic for better clarity. |
| Background noise suppression is overly aggressive | Adjust or disable noise suppression settings to prevent voice cut-off. |
| Mic is too far from mouth | Position mic 2–4 inches from your mouth, away from fan or wind sources. |
- Restart your browser or device
- Test your mic using Test Your Camera and Mic
- Ensure no other app is controlling or reducing mic input (like Zoom, Teams)
🛠 Final Check: Adjust Your Mic Input Volume
- Before joining your session, boost your mic using system settings:
-
Windows:
Settings > System > Sound > Input > Device Properties > Levels -
Mac:
System Settings > Sound > Input > Input Volume
- Run a Mic Test to confirm it’s working well.
