Hi,
If your Mac Studio screen recordings are missing audio, several factors could be at play. Ensure your microphone is properly selected and not muted within the screen recording software (like QuickTime or using Command-Shift-5). Also, check your macOS system settings for microphone permissions and sound input settings, as these may need to be adjusted.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. Check Screen Recording Software Settings:
- QuickTime Player:
- When starting a new screen recording in QuickTime, look for the options to select the audio source. By default, it might be set to "None" or just your microphone. Choose the desired audio source for recording system audio.
- Command-Shift-5:
- If using the built-in screen recording feature (Command-Shift-5), select "Options" and choose the desired audio source. The default is also "None," meaning no audio will be recorded.
2. macOS Microphone Settings:
- Privacy & Security:
- In System Settings, navigate to "Privacy & Security" and then "Microphone." Make sure QuickTime or the screen recording application has permission to access the microphone.
- Sound Input:
- In System Settings under "Sound," select the "Input" tab and ensure your microphone is selected as the sound input device.
- Microphone Volume:
- Check the microphone volume levels in System Settings to ensure they are not muted or too low.
3. System Audio Restrictions:
- Screen & System Audio Recording: In System Settings, under "Privacy & Security," you can control which applications have access to screen and system audio recording. Ensure your screen recording app has the necessary permissions.
4. Other Potential Issues:
- Outdated Software:
- Make sure QuickTime Player and macOS are up-to-date. Outdated software can sometimes cause compatibility issues.
- Hardware Issues:
- If none of the above solutions work, there might be a hardware issue with your microphone or sound card. Try a different microphone or external audio interface to see if the problem persists.
