Windows 10: Why are my apps that require my voice randomly stopping for no reason and don't pick up any...

Why is my Windows 10 Dell laptop not recording my voice for longer than 7 minutes, it also is the same for zoom just not the time. When I use zoom it goes for a while then randomly acts like I'm not talking. The same thing for the built-in recording tool, after 7 minutes it just decides that I'm not there anymore and doesn't pick up any sound. I've already tried updating my drivers, restarting my computer, and checking for any additional updates in case one of them would fix my problem.

How do I make the voice recorder pick up computer audio?

Hi Matt,

I am Mario and I am a independent advisor, and I would like to help you.

You can try the following steps:

1- Right-click on the speaker icon in your system tray and select "Open Sound settings."

2- Scroll down and click on "App volume and device preferences."

3- Under "Output," select your voice recorder app from the list of apps.

4- Under "Output device," select "Default" or your computer speakers.

5- Under "Input," select your microphone from the list of devices.

6- Make sure the volume for both the voice recorder app and your computer audio is turned up.

7- Test the recording to make sure both your voice and computer audio are being picked up.

Some voice recorder apps may not allow you to record computer audio due to copyright or privacy reasons. If that's the case, you may need to use a separate audio recording tool.

Hope this can help you solving the issue.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

Best regards,

Mário

Hi Omar,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I appreciate you for providing details about the issue and your efforts towards resolving it. We will assist you to resolve this issue.

I would like to inform you that the Mail and Calendar app cannot be uninstalled directly from Programs and features. It requires a PowerShell command to uninstall.

I suggest you to uninstall the app and reinstall it.

Please follow the following steps to uninstall the app.

• • Open the Task manager. Here’s a tip: Press CTRL+Shift+ESC.
  • Click File > Run New Task
  • Make sure you have a check mark beside “Create this task with administrative privileges”
  • Type Powershell.
  • This will open a new powershell.
  • Type the following get-appxpackage *microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps*
    
    | remove-appxpackage

Hope the information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

Thank you.
