   I don't remember there being a microphone test, but I talked to someone   
   on whatsapp and he heard me and answered appropritately.  AFAIK, he   
   heard me fine. -- I do have a bit of trouble understanding people who   
   are on a cell phone sometimes.  it's either their phone or my cordless   
   phone.  Where is Western Electric when we need them?   
      
   I'm pretty sure I've done the mike test on zoom on this computer and I   
   was satisfied with the sound it recorded from my voice.  I know I was   
   satisfied on the previous computer.

   Reasonable assumption.
