- What it is
- The Dragon Professional 16 help topic for an error during the microphone check that runs when a user profile is set up. It lists the likely causes and the steps to isolate a damaged microphone, a sound card problem or a driver problem.
- How much weight it carries
- Vendor help for the current version. It is written for the profile setup check, so the steps may differ when the check runs from the DragonBar later.
Facts taken from this source
