Why does the speaker test need a click first?

Browsers block automatic playback on many pages, so the first sound must come from a user gesture.

Can the site detect speakers automatically?

Not fully. Output checks still depend on your own confirmation because the browser cannot know what you actually heard.

Audio Output Diagnostic

Play quick output patterns through your speakers or headphones, adjust the page volume, and confirm whether you can hear the expected sound.

Designed as a simple confirmation workflow for output devices, not a full acoustic benchmark.

ChecksPing + stereo + pulse

OutputManual hearing confirmation

Page output volume

Current level: 72%. This adjusts the test tone, not your system master volume.

Short ping

A quick two-note check for simple yes-or-no output verification.

Stereo check

Plays left, right, then center so you can confirm both channels.

Pulse train

A more rhythmic pattern that makes intermittent dropout easier to catch.
