Low level or clipping?
Keep your normal mouth-to-mic distance and change gain in small steps. If the level never rises, increase input gain or choose a different device. If clipping appears, lower boost and test again.
Microphone Check
Check whether the browser can access your microphone, whether signal is reaching the page, and whether the input looks too quiet or clipped.

Grant browser access first
Browsers require explicit microphone permission before a page can read live audio input. If access was blocked earlier, reopen the permission prompt from the address bar and try again.
Know the limits of the result
This page measures the audio signal received by the browser tab. It does not measure end-to-end microphone latency, certify audio quality, or replace recording software diagnostics.
