how to test usb headset microphone?

Method 1: Windows Built-in Sound Recorder Test

• Plug your USB headset into your computer's USB port.
• Click the Start menu, search for and open the "Sound Recorder" application.
• Click the red record button and speak into the microphone.
• Stop recording and play back the recording. If you can clearly hear your own voice, the microphone is working properly.

Method 2: Real-time Listening Function Test

• Right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar and select "Sound Settings".
• Go to "Sound Control Panel" > "Recording" tab.
• Find the USB headset microphone, right-click and select "Properties".
• Click the "Listen" tab, check "Listen to this device" and apply.
• Speak into the microphone. If you can hear your own voice in real-time through the headset, the microphone is working properly (remember to uncheck the box after testing).
