What are microphone settings?
Microphone settings allow you to select a microphone, adjust its sensitivity, and reduce the echo that may be coming from your speakers.
What happens if I do nothing?
Adobe Flash Player automatically detects any default microphone or other audio recorder on your computer, and sets microphone sensitivity to a medium value.
Note that Flash Player asks your permission before allowing an application to access your camera or microphone. See Privacy pop-up question.
![]() What can I change here?
You can select a different microphone, adjust microphone sensitivity, and reduce echo. The settings you select here apply immediately to the active Flash application. To change the default microphone, select another microphone from the pop-up menu.
To test your microphone, speak in a normal tone of voice and watch the indicator on the left. When the indicator shows yellow, your microphone is sensitive enough for Flash Player to pick up sound. To increase or decrease your microphone's sensitivity, move the slider to the right or the left, respectively.
If you are using speakers instead of headphones, select Reduce Echo. Reducing echo has the effect of reducing the noise coming from your microphone through your speakers.
What if Flash Player doesn't find a microphone?
If Flash Player cannot locate a microphone or other audio device on your computer, the player displays the warning 'No microphone detected.' Read the documentation for your computer and your microphone to make sure your microphone is installed correctly.
How do I test my speakers?
Click Test Speaker in the application shown below to hear a sample sound. Adjust your speakers or headset so the sound is at a comfortable level.
How can I display this panel again?
You may want to display this panel again if, for example, you want Flash Player to use a different microphone. To display the Microphone panel:
I don't see the Microphone tab, so I can't display this panel.![]()
If your computer or device doesn't support audio recording using Flash Player, you cannot select a microphone to use, and this panel doesn't appear.
Adobe this week released Flash Player version 24.0.0.221 to 'address critical vulnerabilities that could potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system,' including Mac, Windows, Linux, and Chrome OS.
Mac users with Flash Player version 24.0.0.194 or earlier installed should immediately update to the latest version using the built-in update mechanism. The update is also available from the Adobe Flash Player Download Center. Flash Player users who had enabled the option to 'allow Adobe to install updates' will receive the update automatically. Likewise, Google Chrome will automatically update Flash Player to version 24.0.0.221. Select 'About Google Chrome' under the Tools menu to verify the browser is up-to-date. Adobe said the critical security update resolves integer overflow, memory corruption, type confusion, heap buffer overflow, and use-after-free vulnerabilities that could lead to code execution. The vulnerabilities were reported by security teams from Google, Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, and Trend Micro. Safari on macOS Sierra deactivates Flash by default, only turning on the plug-in when user requested. Chrome, Firefox, and most other modern web browsers also have web plug-in safeguards in place due to repeatedsecurity risks. Adobe has released fifteen Flash Player security updates over the past year. In 2010, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs shared his 'Thoughts on Flash,' in which he favored open web standards such as HTML5 over Adobe Flash. Jobs said Flash Player was 'the number one reason Macs crash,' while criticizing its performance on mobile devices. 'Flash was created during the PC era – for PCs and mice,' he opined.
