- Input - Your voice chat device, with volume slider underneath. Speak into the microphone and observe if the green squares are lighting up. Three green squares is a healthy level. If the level goes into red squares, it indicates clipping distortion.
- Output - The device used to play sound. If you're on a headset that includes a microphone and the output isn't the same as Default, you can change it here.
