Audio Tests

Audio Tests on DeviceHub cover the full browser suite: microphone levels, speaker and headphone channel checks, stereo imaging, left/right wiring drills, best-effort surround orientation, mic monitoring delay estimates, local echo loops, relative noise metering, stepped volume checks, and bass/treble frequency tones. All analysis and synthesis stay on your device so you can validate hardware before calls, recordings, and listening sessions.

Start with Microphone Test or Speaker Test for everyday smoke checks, then use Stereo Test and Noise Level Meter when imaging or ambient floor matters. Specialized tools such as Echo Test, Mic Monitoring Delay Estimate, and frequency/bass/treble pages deepen troubleshooting without installing vendor utilities.

FAQ

Audio Tests FAQ

Common questions about this category of diagnostics.

Is my voice recorded during the microphone test?
No. Samples are analyzed locally for level meters only and are not uploaded or stored.
Why is there no sound on the speaker test?
Confirm system and tab volume, the correct output device, and that the browser allows sound after you click a play button.
Is the surround sound test true 5.1?
Usually not. Most browsers expose stereo to web pages, so DeviceHub uses best-effort StereoPanner imaging. Use your AVR’s built-in speaker check for discrete amplifier channels.
Are noise level readings true dB SPL?
No. The Noise Level Meter is a relative browser readout from your selected microphone, not a calibrated sound level meter.
