Step-1: Right-click on the sound icon on the taskbar and select Sound Settings.

Step-2: In the Input section, click on the Microphone you want to test. It can be the in-built system Microphone (Microphone Array) or an external Mic as well. I am selecting the in-built Mic option.

Step-3: Click the Start test option next to Test your microphone.

Step-4: Say something and see if the volume slider next to Input Volume shows movement. This indicates that your mic is working. Click on Stop test.

Step-5: As soon as you stop the test, you will see the Result displayed. Essentially the result should be approximately 75% of the volume. If it is below 50%, adjust the Input Volume slider.

I hope this helps you get the best mic volume. Let us know in the comments below.
