How to Fix Audio Issues When Screen Recording on a Windows 10 Laptop

When recording screen activity using built-in or third-party tools on a laptop, the resulting video files exhibit audio issues (such as no sound, static, or audio-video desynchronization), even though the computer plays audio normally. Please provide troubleshooting steps and solutions for this audio recording problem.

  • Close background apps that might interfere with audio recording, e.g., other recording software, voice chat apps, or audio mixers. Disable any virtual audio devices or sound effect software temporarily.

  • Review the audio capturing settings of recording software. 

    Ensure you allow to record stereo mix audio while recording. 

    Some recording software allows enabling these settings - per recording, while you start recording.

    Ensure that the correct audio input device (such as "System Audio" or "Stereo Mix") is selected in your recording software.
