How to test USB Mics

[superwolfkin]

So I switch computers a lot and I usually need to be able to say something to people online. The only microphone I have atm is a Blue Snowball and while I love it. It's big to carry with me back and forth. I bought a very small USB microphone from Amazon. Perfect size for my use scenario. I plug it into every computer I've had a chance to try and after a while the drivers install, all as expected just like my snowball it populars microphone fields in Discord, Overwatch, and Audacity but I get no sound recording.

 

I just want to make sure this cheapo USB mic isn't working before I try to return it or whatever.
