Before starting a test, teachers and students can use the Audio Playback Check dialog box to make sure sound can be heard and the appropriate volume is set. The Audio Playback Check dialog box only appears at the start of assessments that contain audio files.
Ensure audio settings are enabled and not muted, and the volume is set to a comfortable hearing level on teacher and student devices before previewing or beginning a test. It’s important that students perform an audio playback check so that any device-related audio issues are resolved before a test, not during.
Some assignments may require students to use their microphones. Check here for instructions on helping a student configure their microphone.
