game captures records without audio. sometimes.

I'm not sure if you tried this already, but I sometimes run into an issue where the game I'm playing is outputting audio to one device (speakers, headphones, etc.) while the recording program is looking for audio sent to a different source. This would
lead to your video captures coming out silent without creating any error messages. Are you using Game Bar on Windows 10 to record?

I'm currently having this same issue, tried adjusting the capture settings but it's still recording clips without audio

As far as I know, you would need a different method to record gameplay with Mic audio with the native capture tools, but built in they only record the game visuals and audio. You can stream and include party chat as the output, and then later pull the
files from there (depending on the platform and settings), but that's not also a reliable method, as sometimes those stream videos might not be available due to bugs or glitches. Reliably, you'd need to use a capture card, or recording via a PC and external
software, or setting up Windows 10 capture and streaming via the Xbox App.

I'm Samy an independent advisor. Welcome to the community. How are you?

I'm afraid that since the video was recorded without audio it's not possible to retrieve or add the audio to your capture.

Hi Mbathula,

Thanks for coming to the forums with your question. With recording your voice it will not do this through the game bar itself. You either have to do it through the Xbox companion app or have a capture card. As this guide for

setting up streaming windows 10 shows it will only record from the Microphone on the PC not the headset.

Recorded audio

Record game play with or without sounds from your game and your microphone, and choose the audio quality.

• To record game sounds with your game clips, turn on Record audio when I record a game.
• To choose a different audio quality than the default, select the Audio quality box and choose one of the options.
• To record through your microphone, turn on Record audio when I record a game.

Thanks,

Brad
