Screen recording from Dropbox Capture with no audio
Hi folks, i was just wondering, why my dropbox capture isn't recording audio from screen recording? is this common issue or ?
Hi everyone, Dropbox Capture isn't intended to record audio from the screen or machine itself.
It only allows input from a microphone or an external input device.
I have the same issue.
Mac OS 13.0.1
Dropbox Capture latest version 89.0.4 - just updated.
I had this problem with Quicktime, it does not record screen audio output but only what is picked up by the built-in microphone. So if I put on a YouTube video and use Mac Speakers, the built-in microphone picks it up. If I use Airpods for speaker and microphone, and set audio so system or Airpods, it does not record the video output. I solved this by installing an third party plug-in BlackHole 16ch, which is a hack to allow recording of audio output and not just what the microphone picks up.
This exact same problem occurs with Capture except that the BlackHole plug-in does not work and I can only record audio output of PC if recording input through the built-in microphone.
I hope this helps as it is a required feature and I would rather use Capture as opposed to Quicktime.
Same issue with 89.0.4 on Windows 11.
Only the selected microphone audio is recorded, no audio from the actual applications being recorded.
