Many iPhoners come up with such silent recording matter when they use internal recorder to capture streaming from YouTube, iTunes, Instagram, facecam, Facebook, WhatsAppp, safari or other places.

● To walk this annoying error through, you should firstly ensure you’ve done the right operation. When you add and access the Screen Recording in Control Center, do turn on the Microphone Audio button to allow recording with both microphone voice and system/app sound. Turning this option off means capturing iPhone’s internal sound only. If you close Microphone Audio and ringer together, you will get a muted recording in the end.

● Still voiceless? Then you can try resetting all the settings of your phone to original or restoring your gadget with iTunes backup. If your phone doesn’t running the latest iOS (13), maybe it’s time to update your iOS.

● There are also cases that it’s the DRM copy protection that restrains your audio capture. At this time, you will have no way to record but simply enjoying the video or music with your subscription.

● If your target is not copy protected content and you still fail to record the sound after completing the methods mentioned above, there’s another simple workaround – mirror your iPhone screen to PC and then conduct the capture. Below are the steps.

Step 1 – Use adaptuer plus HDMI combination, Wifi or USB + mirror software to move your iOS screen to computer. The workflow of the former one is to plug Apple’s Digital AV adapter into the charging port of iPhone, and then use HDMI to connect it with PC monitor. Note that VGA adatpter is not recommended for the connection because it’s unable to carry audio signals. To wirelessly mirror iPhone to PC, you need a dedicated helper like Let’sView.

Step 2 – Open up the mirrored monitor and get a screen recorder ready on the computer. If the mirror software has screen recording feature, then take advantage of it. If not, use computer’s internal screen recording tool, say Game bar (for Windows 10 only) and QuickTime. Since they are not so flexible as standalone screen recorder, you can switch to RecMaster and take advantage of this iPhone screen recorder for computer here.

Step 3 – Start up your iPhone activity and enable the screen recorder to work in your way.

Step 4 – Stop and edit if necessary.
