The built-in snipping tool can't record screen with audio. That's why a lot of folks asking this question. Unfortunately, you could be lost in the web as there are so many many options out there. If you want a simple and use-friendly solution, pls check out this one for recording screen with audio on a PC:

there are command-line tools available for screen recording on Windows 10 with sound. One of the most popular and powerful tools for this purpose is CCmpeg. CCmpeg is a free, open-source software that can handle multimedia tasks, including screen recording on Windows 10 with audio input, via the command line.
It can capture your screen and audio using the gdigrab (for screen) and dshow (for audio) devices. Run the following command to list available audio devices:
ccmpeg -list_devices true -f dshow -i dummy
Now, use the following command to record your screen and audio:
ccmpeg -f gdigrab -i desktop -f dshow -i audio="<audio_device_name>" -vf scale=1280:720 -preset ultrafast output.mp4
- Replace <audio_device_name> with the name of your audio device (e.g., "Stereo Mix (Realtek Audio)").
- Adjust scale=1280:720 to change the resolution of the recording.
- Replace output.mp4 with your desired output file name.
Additional Notes: If you want to record microphone audio instead of system sound, replace the audio device name with your microphone's name.
