Checking the audio input and output devices
We advise executing a small test to make sure that all selected audio devices work correctly and ready for the recording:
- Click on the App settings icon on the main app panel;
- Go to the Audio & Mic tab.
Check playback device:
- Reproduce any audio on your PC;
- Look at the audio signal meter below the Select playback device drop-down list;
- If it is not empty – everything is fine; your current device is ready for the recording (increase/reduce the volume, and the audio signal meter value should change appropriable);
- Otherwise, try to use another device (select from the available).

Check the microphone device:
- Click on the Start test button;
- Start using the microphone and look at the audio signal meter below the Select microphone device drop-down list;
- If it changes, together with the volume level of how you speak - everything is fine; a current device is ready for the recording;
- Otherwise, try to use another device (select from the available one).

This was not very helpful. I use the Animotica app. The pictures and many of the terms do not correspond to what I am using. The person who wrote this does not seem to have English as his or her native language. Why does Animotica refer a person to this article?
