Audio Recording Problems

Having trouble with audio during interview practice? Here are solutions to common problems.

β†’Microphone Not Detected

  • β€’Check browser permissions: Click the lock icon in address bar > Allow microphone
  • β€’Ensure your microphone is plugged in and set as default device
  • β€’Try a different browser (Chrome recommended)
  • β€’Restart your browser and try again

β†’Poor Audio Quality

Background noise, echo, or muffled sound? Move to a quieter location, use headphones to prevent echo, position microphone 6-12 inches from your mouth, and close other apps using your microphone.

β†’Recording Cuts Out

If your recording stops randomly, check your internet connection stability, close bandwidth-heavy apps, disable browser extensions that might interfere, and try reducing the length of individual responses.

β†’AI Can't Understand My Recording

Speak more slowly and clearly, reduce background noise, check recording volume levels, and ensure you're speaking in a supported language (English).

β†’System Requirements

Modern browser (Chrome 90+, Firefox 88+, Edge 90+), working microphone, stable internet (5+ Mbps recommended), and microphone permissions enabled.
