Speaker test FAQ
Can I choose a specific speaker output device?
Yes, when the browser supports output device selection (most modern browsers do). You can pick a detected output from the device list and test playback through that specific device.
Why do I hear nothing during the speaker test?
Common causes: low or muted system volume, wrong output device selected, hardware muted, speakers not powered on, or browser permission issues. The troubleshooting section above covers each scenario.
Does this speaker test work with monitor speakers via HDMI?
Yes. If your monitor has built-in speakers connected via HDMI or DisplayPort, select it as the output device. You may need to set it as the default audio device in your OS first.
Is this speaker test safe for my speakers?
The test plays at a moderate volume by default. Always start with a comfortable level. The tool does not amplify beyond your system volume settings.
Can I test surround sound systems with this tool?
The test covers left/right stereo channels. For 5.1 or 7.1 surround systems, this tool verifies the front left and front right speakers. Full surround testing would require specialized software.
