Windows 10: Windows 10 screen recording control + G is capturing some expected sounds.

When I try to use the screen recorder to record any contents with sound, some odd sounds such as music or people talking in some unknown languages are captured besides what is supposed to be recorded. I had been actively using the screen recording feature but only notice this strange behavior recently. I suspected this sound is from a hacker but I couldnt find any malwares with different antivirus software. What can I do?

Sound Recorder isn't Working!

Hello,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

To guide you In right direction we want to know:

-Are you using voice recorder or any other app to do so?

I would suggest you to try these methods and check if that helps:

Method 1:

Please run Recording Run Troubleshooter.

You may try to run the in-built Windows Recording Audio troubleshooter and check. Follow the steps:

• Press Windows Key + X..
• Click on Control Panel.
• Select Troubleshooting.
• On the left pane, click on View All.
• Click on Windows Recording Audio to run the troubleshooter.

Method 2:

If the issue persists, I suggest you to use the sound recorder and check if you are able to record the sound.

• In the Windows Start screen, type “sound recorder”, then select Sound Recorder from the search results.
• Try recording your voice through your microphone, then play it back. To do so, simply tap or click Start Recording, speak to the microphone, and then save the file so you can play the recording.

This will helps us to find out if the issue is with any online messenger like Skype or Windows.


I also suggest you to install the latest driver for Mic from the manufacturer’s website.

I also request you to refer the following link:

suggestions for a desktop video & sound capture program

You will have a folder with 2 shortcuts in it. One is the encoder the other is the screencapture program. The screencapture has a red dot on it. Like this



When it opens the controls will look like this bar

The cog wheel is for the settings, if you push the red dot it will give you a box to select the part of the screen to capture. Once you do that, you will have the recording controls. Press the red record button and it will do a countdown from 3 and start recording whatever is on your screen. Audio is set in the settings.

When you finish recording click the square in the middle of the control and it will start. You can then send it to the encoder where you can edit, set the recording quality and encode it into whatever format you want.

It is a very good program once you figure it out, but is pretty easy. When installing it will ask for a key. Just press continue, you do not need a key. There is no watermark or restrictions on it.
