Screen recording won't capture audio

Clark

I enabled it so that it records the device audio but still it won't budge.

Clark Is this from a secondary profile? If so: https://github.com/GrapheneOS/os-issue-tracker/issues/3437

fid02 no, this is from the main profile.

The following further explanations come to mind:

Have you maybe blocked Microphone access?
settings> Privacy> Microphone access

(Maybe you meant that with "i enabled it" but only to be sure):

when you start screen recording, there is a toggle: "record audio" - have you activated it?

Murcielago As far as I know, microphone access is not needed in order to record device audio.

Sorry, you're right of course. I had mistakenly interpreted/translated "device audio" as something like the internal device microphone.

Bump still won't work.

UPDATE: it only captures the device audio if "device audio + microphone" is enabled.

Clark

Never mind, back to not working

Clark

Bump doesn't work consistently :(

Bump still doesn't work...

Yes I have had this issue on my P6a since day 1. I believe I tried it months ago with microphone enabled to no success but I may be mistaken and will have to try again.

Clark

I'm so stupid I didn't realise I needed to enable the mic permission control... SOLVED (for me)

Clark

Never mind. It can't record device audio only microphone. This is quite frustrating... Anybody know the cause? If it does function it does so irregularly...

To be clear, I can record the audio from my music player app but not from YouTube for example.

Clark

Still unsolved for me, have tried all the combinations (whole device / single app, microphone / device audio), the microphone sounds are captured but not the device.

Would like to know the solution, also.

@spring-onion can you remove the solved tag?

Hi. I have different issue on my P8P with latest build 2024112700. When recording is limited to one app, then no audio is recorded. When selected to record whole screen, then microphone and phone audio is captured.

Update. Device audio + microphone capture works until Viber video call started. So useless screen capture function for me :( I used to record Viber calls of my 2yr child with my wife because I'm at work most of the time. I wanted to save some calls. Now on GOS I can't :(
