No audio on game capture clips Xbox Series s

Hello Dear User

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

I understand that you are having trouble on party chat when you clipping, and I understand your confusion.

Having voice chat in your clips can definitely make them more engaging, especially for capturing the full context of a moment. Unfortunately, by default, Xbox Series S doesn't record party chat or game voice chat when you clip gameplay, but there are a few ways you can work around this limitation to capture voice chat along with the game footage:

Enable "Include Party Audio" in Xbox Settings

Unfortunately, Xbox Series S doesn't automatically capture party chat when you make clips directly on the console. But if you're using a Xbox Live Party chat feature, there’s a setting to include party audio in recordings.

• On your Xbox Series S, follow these steps:
  

• Go to Settings > General > Volume & audio output.
  

• Under Party chat output, make sure "Headset" is selected so you can hear your party while recording clips.
  

• Ensure your party settings allow voice to be included in your clips (sometimes in settings within the party itself).
  

Although this setting will help during regular gameplay, it doesn't guarantee voice chat is automatically recorded with clips when you're using the Xbox’s native clip tool.

Use an External Capture Device (For More Control)

If you want more flexibility and control over your clips, you can use an external capture card like the Elgato or AverMedia devices. These capture cards allow you to capture both game and voice chat audio more reliably, including party chat.

• With a capture card, you can record everything, including game audio, voice chat, and even your microphone, all at once.
  

• Connect the capture card to your Xbox and your PC.
  

• Use the capture card's software to record clips.
  

• Adjust the audio settings in the software to ensure voice chat is included.
  

Use a Dedicated Audio Recording App

Alternatively, you can use an app or an external microphone to record your party chat separately and then sync it up with your game footage in video editing software later.

• You can use apps like Discord or a separate microphone to capture the chat, then sync it with your gameplay footage in something like Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or even simpler editors like Shortcut.
  

Unfortunately, without a workaround (like using a capture card or an external app), Xbox consoles don't natively record party voice chat in clips. Please feel free to let me know if you have any further updates, thanks. 

Best Regards.

Hi Milo. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

Can you describe this problem further, please?

- Do all clips have no audio, regardless of which game you're playing?

- Are you using a headset when this problem occurs?

- Have you tried any troubleshooting steps so far?

Hi!
Maybe we didn't understand well, through the Xbox clips it never captures the party audio.
Maybe you intend to record a clip with the game audio including your teammates' voice chat (no Xbox party)?

Okay Then, I just tried your recommended setting, along with a few tweaks. But however, my recorded video still has no audio whatsoever. And also, if I managed to fix it, the video could de-sync. (Meaning the audio plays ahead of the video.) Is there something wrong with it?

Here are my settings:

Audio Settings:

General > Volume & Audio Output

• Speaker Audio:
  
  HDMI Audio: Stereo Uncompressed
  
  Headset Audio: Windows Sonic
  

Advanced > Additional options

• No boxes checked
  
• Party chat options set to Headset & speakers
  

Preferences > Capture & share

• Capture
  
  • Allow game captures > captures by me
    
  • Record what happened > 30 seconds
    
  • Automatically upload > Captured by me
    
  • Game clip resolution > 720p SDR (3 minutes max)
    
  • Capture location > External storage
