Screen Recording On Mac No Audio

 

To record your Mac’s Screen with both audio and video:

Screen Recording Mac Os

In the sound Output, choose Loopback Audio in the Output tab. At this point, you will hear no sound from any of your Mac’s applications, but don’t worry. Go to the QuickTime Player application; choose File/New Screen Recording. As a free, open-source, and cross-platform audio recording software, Audacity is popular and accepted by most people. This freeware allows you to record audio on your Mac, capture live audio through a microphone or mixer, or digital recordings from others. It supports 16-bit, 24-bit, and 32-bit sample rates with high quality. Apowersoft Screen Recorder is a free yet best screen recorder for Mac. One can even pause and resume while recording so that you can control the recording contents flexibly. It also supports recording the audio from the microphone and sync the audio to the screencasts.

  1. Install loopback audio (free extension).
  2. Open the media you want to screen capture in your application (if it’s a browser, use Firefox or Chrome, not Safari). Start at least 5 seconds before where you want to start – this will usually give time for the application to hide any playback controls which might be distracting. Don’t press play yet.
  3. Go to System Preferences/Sound. In the sound Output, choose Loopback Audio in the Output tab.
    At this point, you will hear no sound from any of your Mac’s applications, but don’t worry.
  4. Go to the QuickTime Player application; choose File/New Screen Recording.
  5. Choose if you want to record all your screen, or a portion of your screen (highlighted in red below), then click on the Record button.

  6. Click on the Options menu.
    Choose the appropriate audio source, in this case Loopback Audio.

  7. Go to the application that was set to play the video; press play (hopefully you queued up the video to play at least 5 seconds before the area you wanted to capture – this will usually give time for the application to hide any playback controls which might be distracting).

  2. At the top of your screen (to the right of Finder menu items), click on the black square, which is the button to stop the Quicktime recording.
    Save your video file.
  3. Go to System Preferences/Sound. In the sound Output, change the preference back to Internal Speakers (or whatever was your original choice). You should be able to hear sounds now from your speakers.
  4. Go to your saved movie in QuickTime Player, and test out the sound. Trim the clip either in QuickTime Player or iMovie.
