Windows 10: Windows 11 Sound Recorder has chosen an incorrect DRIVE and folder...how does one reset it?

1. Okay, so I just upgraded to Windows 11.2. I have a back up drive G: in my system which is periodically updated.3. Main drive is C:, so the Sound Recorder should be storing recordings to the "C:\User\"me"\Documents\Sound Recorder" folder.4. Instead, it somehow decided to use the backup drive's "G:\User\"me"\Documents\Sound Recorder" folder.Further, when attempting to "Show in Folder", the Sound Recorder flashes a blue window and ends. I did remove the G: drive. The Sound Recorder now, while recording to the correct folder, will not show the C: folder for playback, so I'm getting an error..

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:
