To get to the test page in your account, under the "Classroom" section click on the AV Test page link.
Selecting a Microphone (and camera, if you have one)
Choosing the correct camera and microphone is an important step. If you listen to your video recording and you can't hear yourself well, first select a different microphone and try again.
Click the green box on the test page that says "click here to change your camera or microphone
Try selecting a different microphone, and do a test. If the sound is bad, try selecting a different microphone and redo the test
Do the same with your camera if needed
