When screen recording, it can be frustrating to find that there is no sound in the recorded video. There are a few possible reasons for this issue, and I’ll explain them in detail below.
1. System Volume Too Low: One common reason for no sound in screen recordings is that the system volume is set too low. If your device’s volume is turned down or muted, it will affect the audio in the recorded video. To fix this, simply press the Volume Up button on your device to increase the system volume while recording. This should ensure that the sound is captured properly.
2. Third-Party App Volume Too Low: If you are using a third-party screen recording app, it’s essential to check its volume settings. Sometimes, these apps have their own separate volume controls that need to be adjusted. Look for the app’s settings or preferences menu and make sure the volume is set to an audible level. If necessary, increase the volume within the app itself during the recording.
3. Mic Permissions Not Granted: Another reason for no sound in screen recordings could be that the app you are using does not have permission to access the microphone. When recording the screen, the audio is usually captured through the device’s microphone. If the app doesn’t have permission to use the mic, it won’t be able to record sound. To fix this, go to your device’s settings, find the app’s permissions, and make sure the microphone permission is enabled.
4. Problem with the Screen Recording App: Sometimes, the issue might be with the screen recording app itself. If you have tried adjusting the volume settings and granting mic permissions but still have no sound, it could indicate a problem with the app. In such cases, try using a different screen recording app to see if the issue persists. There are various screen recording apps available on app stores, so you can explore other options until you find one that works well for you.
5. Device or Software Issues: In rare cases, the lack of sound during screen recording could be due to hardware or software issues on your device. If you have tried all the above steps and still face the problem consistently, it might be worth checking for any system updates or troubleshooting your device. Restarting your device or updating to the latest software version might resolve any underlying issues causing the audio problem.
When there is no sound in your screen recordings, it’s important to check the system volume, adjust the volume settings of the recording app, grant necessary microphone permissions, and consider using a different app if the issue persists. Additionally, ensure that your device and software are up to date to rule out any potential compatibility or hardware problems. By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue and capture screen recordings with sound successfully.
