What Type of Recording You Want

Most users may not know that there are sound settings in the MIUI screen recorder that can lead to the kind of output you are getting in your recording. Let’s sort that out.

  • Launch the Screen recording app
  • On the top right corner, there will be a gear button. Tap on it to go to Settings.
  • Tap on Sound Source to reveal a mini menu with three options: Mute, Mic and System Sounds
  • Mute denotes no sound will be recorded. So, check if the Sound Source is set to Mute or not. If yes, then it may be the cause of no sound in the recording.
  • System Sound only record the internal sounds of the smartphone
  • The mic on the other hand records everything from internal as well as from the external sources like your voice when you are playing and recording your gameplay.

My suggestion will be to set the Sound source to Mic to record everything.
