About the tools
A free online audio test for everyday sound problems
AudioSolver helps you work out whether an audio problem comes from your microphone, speakers, headphones, browser settings, or a phone speaker affected by water. Each test runs inside the browser, so there is no app to install and no account to create. Start with the symptom search above, or open the tool that matches the hardware you want to check. You will get a focused test and a plain-language result instead of a long troubleshooting list with no evidence.
The site works as an audio test online for laptops, desktop computers, many Android phones, and iPhone browsers that support the required Web Audio features. The exact controls available can vary by device. Microphone tests need permission to access the selected input, while speaker and headphone tests play prepared tones through your current output. Audio processing stays on the device throughout the test.
Choose the right test for the job
Online mic test with recording and playback
Use the online mic test when other people cannot hear you, your voice sounds faint, or a call app shows no input. The live meter measures input level, peak volume, clipping, background noise, and browser-reported latency. You can also open the mic test playback tool to record a short sample and hear yourself. That makes it easier to spot static, distortion, or the wrong microphone before joining a meeting. The temporary recording remains in browser memory and is discarded when you leave or reload the page.
Left and right speaker test
Choose the online speaker test for laptop, desktop, phone, monitor, or external speakers. It plays identifiable audio through each channel so you can confirm that left and right are connected in the correct order. The speaker test also includes stereo phase, frequency, bass, and rattle checks. If one channel is silent, the result gives you a useful starting point: output balance, a loose cable, a blocked grille, or a damaged driver. Keep the volume moderate when starting any speaker test audio, then raise it only as needed.
Left and right headphone test
Open the online headphone test to verify earbuds, wired headphones, a gaming headset, or a Bluetooth pair. The left and right headphone test makes channel direction obvious, while the balance and frequency tools help reveal a quieter side or a missing part of the audible range. A failed channel does not always mean the headphones are broken. Check the plug, Bluetooth connection, operating system balance, and the fit of each earbud before deciding the hardware has failed.
Water eject sound for a phone speaker
The water eject tool plays a low-frequency sweep intended to move small droplets from a phone speaker grille. It can be useful when an iPhone or Android speaker sounds muffled after a splash. Place the phone with its speaker facing down, use a sensible volume, and let it air-dry after the cycle. This water eject sound is not a repair for liquid damage, and repeated playback cannot make a device waterproof. AirPods and other earbuds need more cautious handling, so follow the maker's drying guidance rather than playing a loud tone while wearing them.
How the browser audio test works
AudioSolver uses standard browser audio features. A mic test reads a live signal only after you grant permission. The analyser converts that signal into measurements such as RMS level, peak dBFS, and noise floor. Speaker and headphone tools create controlled tones for a channel, phase, or frequency check. The complete mic and speaker test combines several checks when the source of the problem is unclear. Nothing needs to be uploaded for these calculations, and the site does not need to save your voice on a server.
Start in a quiet room, disconnect outputs you are not testing, and select the correct device in your system sound settings. Use ordinary listening volume. Very high test tones can be uncomfortable and may hide the difference you are trying to hear. For a Bluetooth device, wait until it is fully connected before starting. If results change between browsers, check the browser's site permissions and selected input or output.
What your result can tell you
A browser test separates symptoms that often sound alike. No microphone signal points toward permission, input selection, mute controls, or a connection problem. A strong level with harsh playback suggests clipping rather than a dead mic. A left right audio test can expose reversed stereo channels, an incorrect balance setting, or one silent driver. A frequency sweep may reveal a narrow buzz or rattle that ordinary music does not make obvious. The result is evidence for the next troubleshooting step, not a guarantee that a specific physical part has failed.
AudioSolver FAQ
Common audio test questions
What can I test with AudioSolver?
AudioSolver includes browser-based tests for microphones, speakers, headphones, and phone speakers. You can measure microphone level and noise, replay your voice, check left and right channels, test balance, phase, bass, frequency response, and rattles, or try a cautious water eject cycle for a wet phone speaker.
Which audio test should I start with?
Choose the microphone, speaker, headphone, or water eject page when you already know which device is affected. If the source of the problem is unclear, start with the Complete Audio Check. It guides you through the main input and output checks and suggests the most relevant follow-up.
How can I test my microphone online?
Open the Mic Test, allow browser microphone permission, select the input you want to check, and speak normally. The live meter shows whether a signal is reaching the browser, while the noise, clipping, latency, and voice playback tools help you investigate a specific problem.
How do I test left and right speakers?
Open the Speaker Test, select the intended output device, set a moderate volume, and play the left and right cues separately. Each cue should come from the matching side. You can then use the phase, frequency, bass, and rattle tests for a more focused check.
How can I check headphone balance?
Connect your headphones and use the Headphone Test to play left, right, and centered balance signals. A centered signal should sound equally loud in both ears. If it does not, check earbud fit, the cable or Bluetooth connection, and the operating system’s balance setting.
Can a water eject sound fix a wet phone speaker?
A low-frequency water eject sound may move small droplets near an external speaker grille and improve muffled audio, but it cannot remove internal liquid or repair water damage. Keep the phone unplugged, point the speaker down, use moderate volume, and follow the manufacturer’s drying guidance.
What does the Complete Audio Check do?
The Complete Audio Check combines microphone detection, input level, clipping, background noise, a short voice replay, left and right speaker channels, and stereo phase in one guided test. It provides a composite score and recommendations based on the results you confirm.
Does AudioSolver record or upload my voice?
Live microphone measurements are processed locally in your browser. When you choose voice replay, the short recording stays in temporary browser memory so you can hear it back; it is not uploaded to AudioSolver and is cleared when you reload or leave the page.
Can I use AudioSolver on iPhone or Android?
Yes. The main tests work in current mobile browsers that support the required browser audio features. Allow microphone access only for mic tests, disconnect Bluetooth devices when testing the built-in phone hardware, and begin speaker or headphone tones at a low volume.
