Screen Recording Has No Sound On Windows 11

Start With These Checks

1. Select MP4. Animated GIF does not contain an audio track.
2. Check Audio source. The default No audio deliberately records no sound. Choose the device you actually want.
3. Check that device’s input level in Windows and, for a microphone, the Windows microphone access settings.
4. For computer playback, confirm that your device list exposes a suitable Stereo Mix, loopback or virtual capture source. Selecting an ordinary microphone does not capture the system directly.
5. Record a short sample, stop and save, then play the original file. Check the player volume as well as the input volume.

One Source At A Time

The simple recorder selects one DirectShow audio source at a time and defaults to No audio. System sound needs an appropriate Stereo Mix, loopback or virtual capture device that is already available on your PC. An ordinary microphone records microphone sound. This package does not install an audio helper driver or mix microphone and system audio together.

If the needed system-audio source is not available, this simple interface can still make a silent video or record an available microphone. It does not install or silently enable an audio driver.
