Проверка микрофона в Windows 10

Многие пользователи Windows 10 повседневно или достаточно часто задействуют микрофон для общения в играх, специальных программах или при записи звука. Иногда работа этого оборудования ставится под сомнение и требуется провести его тестирование. Сегодня мы бы хотели рассказать о возможных методах проверки звукозаписывающего устройства, а вы выберите, какой из них будет наиболее подходящим.

Проверяем микрофон в Windows 10

Как мы уже сказали, способов тестирования существует несколько. Каждый из них практически одинаково эффективен, однако юзеру необходимо провести разный алгоритм действий. Ниже мы детально распишем все варианты, но сейчас важно убедиться в том, что микрофон активирован. Разобраться в этом поможет другая наша статья, ознакомиться с которой вы можете, перейдя по следующей ссылке.

Кроме этого важно отметить, что правильное функционирование оборудования обеспечивается верной настройкой. Данной теме также посвящен наш отдельный материал. Изучите его, выставьте подходящие параметры, а потом уже приступайте к проведению проверки.

Перед тем, как вы перейдете к изучению указанных ниже методов, стоит произвести еще одну манипуляцию, чтобы приложения и браузер смогли получить доступ к микрофону, иначе запись попросту не будет осуществляться. Вам нужно выполнить следующие действия:

Откройте меню «Пуск» и перейдите в «Параметры».

В открывшемся окне выберите раздел «Конфиденциальность».

Опуститесь в раздел «Разрешения приложений» и выберите «Микрофон». Убедитесь в том, что активирован ползунок параметра «Разрешить приложениям доступ к микрофону».

Способ 1: Программа Skype

В первую очередь мы бы хотели затронуть проведение проверки через известное многим программное обеспечение для общения под названием Skype. Преимущество такого метода в том, что пользователь, который хочет только общаться через этот софт, сразу же его в нем и проверит без скачивания дополнительного ПО или перехода по сайтам. Инструкции по тестированию вы найдете в другом нашем материале.

Способ 2: Программы для записи звука

На просторах интернета присутствует большое количество самых разнообразных программ, позволяющих записывать звук с микрофона. Они отлично подойдут и для того, чтобы проверить функционирование данного оборудования. Мы предлагаем вам список такого софта, а вы уже, ознакомившись с описанием, выбирайте подходящий, скачивайте его и приступайте к записи.

Способ 3: Онлайн-сервисы

Существуют специально разработанные онлайн-сервисы, основная функциональность которых сосредоточена на проверке микрофона. Использование таких сайтов поможет избежать предварительной загрузки ПО, однако обеспечит такую же результативность. Читайте детальнее обо всех популярных подобных веб-ресурсах в отдельной нашей статье, ищите оптимальный вариант и, придерживаясь приведенных инструкций, проводите тестирование.

Способ 4: Встроенное средство Windows

В ОС Виндовс 10 встроено классическое приложение, позволяющее записать и прослушать звук с микрофона. Оно подойдет для проведения сегодняшнего тестирования, а осуществляется вся процедура так:

В самом начале статьи мы привели инструкцию по предоставлению разрешений для микрофона. Вам следует вернуться туда и убедиться, что «Запись голоса» может использовать это оборудование.

Далее откройте «Пуск» и через поиск найдите «Запись голоса».

Нажмите на соответствующий значок для начала записи.

Вы можете в любой момент остановить запись или поставить ее на паузу.

Теперь приступайте к прослушиванию получившегося результата. Передвигайте таймлайн, чтобы переместиться на определенный отрезок времени.

Данное приложение позволяет создавать неограниченное количество записей, делиться ими и обрезать фрагменты.

Выше мы представили все четыре доступных варианта по тестированию микрофона в операционной системе Windows 10. Как видите, все они не различаются по эффективности, но имеют разную последовательность действий и будут максимально полезны в определенных ситуациях. Если оказалось, что проверяемое оборудование не работает, обратитесь за помощью к другой нашей статье по следующей ссылке.

How to test your mic?

Testing your microphone with our online tool is pretty simple: just wait until all your multimedia devices are detected and then click the “Test my mic” button. If this button doesn’t appear and you haven’t received any notifications, it’s likely that there’s been an error with your browser. To help you, please contact us at info@mictests.com

How is the microphone being tested?

1. First of all, it is determined if the browser supports functions for accessing multimedia devices. If so, a list of detected microphones and necessary controls are displayed.
2. When you click the “Test my mic” button, your browser will ask permission to start the microphone on this site.
3. Once access is granted, the microphone will start up and you will see the visualizer of sounds captured by your mic.
4. The tester starts to record your voice and any noise captured by your mic.
5. Now it’s time to determine supported features and make some some measurements.
6. Finally are displayed the testing results, hints and additional controls (including the playback).

Why do you have to leave a review?

Once the mic test is complete, you can leave a review about your microphone. This is not necessary, but we recommend that you do this to help others buy a good microphone and bypass the bad ones. Also, after your review is published, you will see how good your microphone is (i.e., you will find out how good it is in the best microphone rating).

System Requirements

To test the microphone, you only need a modern browser (unfortunately, Internet Explorer is not a such browser) that supports functions for accessing multimedia devices. As you have noticed, our microphone test tool does not require any additional software such as Adobe Flash, Microsoft Silverlight or browser plug-ins. There are no restrictions on the type of device, so your microphone can be integrated (into headphones, mobile device, laptop), wireless (WiFi, bluetooth) or connected via cord (USB, TRL, XLR).

Below are listed the operating systems and the minimum versions of supported browsers:

If your operating system or browser is not listed here, this does not mean that it is not supported. It just has not been tested yet. Therefore, feel free to check yourself.

Privacy

1. All operations required for testing are performed by the browser and all data is stored in the user’s device memory.
2. We do not store technical information until the user publishes a feedback about his microphone.
3. If the user does not publish a review, all data from the device memory is deleted when the page is closed.
4. Reviews are publicly available and contain only technical information about the microphones tested.
5. We never store audio recordings made with your microphone.
