The program will check all the speakers and microphones connected to the computer and you can choose the speaker/microphone that you want. When checking speakers you will hear a ringing sound. When you hear the sound, click on Yes. If you don’t hear it, click on No, and the computer will check the next speaker until you hear the ringing sound. When checking the microphone, the program will request for you to speak for a few seconds and then wait. If you hear what you said from the speaker, that means the microphone works and click Yes. If you didn’t hear it, click No, and the program will check the next microphone until it finds one that works. |

If you still have a problem, it is recommended that you check the microphone/speaker settings in Windows |
