How to convert MOV to MP3 on Windows 11? Any suggestions?

You can convert MOV to MP3 by recording the audio with the built-in tool in Windows 11.

The process involves playing the MOV file on your media player and simultaneously capturing the audio output as it plays. To achieve this, you’ll need to ensure that your system's audio recording feature, often called “Stereo Mix” or “What You Hear,” is enabled. This feature allows the computer to record the exact audio that is being played through its speakers or headphones.

To start, open your MOV video in a media player and prepare it for playback. Adjust the system volume to a suitable level to avoid distortion or low-quality recording. Next, access your computer’s sound settings to enable the audio recording device.

Once everything is set up, start the audio recording feature and play the MOV video. When the video finishes, stop the recording. The recorded audio can then be saved as an MP3 file using basic tools or built-in MOV to MP3 converters. This method provides a straightforward way to convert mov to mp3 without relying on external software.
