A successful DeviceOK mic test makes complete microphone failure less likely; focus on Discord input selection and app permissions.

If the live test passes, the investigation can usually move away from total hardware failure and toward the affected app, permissions, routing or configuration.

Diagnostic sequence

Work through the problem in order

  1. 1

    Confirm DeviceOK receives live microphone input.

  2. 2

    Choose the same microphone in Discord Voice & Video settings.

  3. 3

    Check Discord input volume and mute state.

  4. 4

    Verify Discord has OS microphone permission.

  5. 5

    Retest in Discord, then DeviceOK if anything changes.

If it works in DeviceOK

Use the passing DeviceOK test to narrow the problem to the specific app or settings layer.

If it also fails in DeviceOK

If DeviceOK also fails, step back to permissions, connection, OS configuration, and device-level troubleshooting.
