Sometimes it can be hard to know that your setup isn't working as you expected.

Whilst commanding someone to fix it should be the last resort most people with voice activation would rather the setup work for everyone in the server so they can keep using it.

On my setup for example I had a desk mic which sat on my wooden desk. People had to point out to me that there were sudden sharp noises coming from my mic. Eventually it was isolated to my mouse hitting the desk and vibrating up the base into the mic. I placed the mic on a bit of foam and everyone was happy. These types of activations are not picked up during self testing easily.
