Mac: audio recording not working

[ohthetrees]

I have Screencast version 2.5 on Mac OS 10.14.5.

I just bought a usb microphone, specifically so I could record audio on the screencast app. The microphone works fine with the Mac's native "Voice Memos App". But when I try to record a screencast, no sound is recorded.

• Things I've tried:

• Reboot

• In Screencast click the microphone icon and checkbox to "on".

• In Screencast click "Settings", check "record audio" and ensure my audio device is selected. 

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi @ohthetrees , apologies for the inconvenience. Are you not getting the audio playback in the "preview" window (after recording) or on the website (after uploading)?

[ohthetrees]

Not getting it in the preview.

Hi @ohthetrees 

We have the audio editing available only on Windows, where we play the audio along with video. On Mac, we don't play the audio in the preview on the Screencast Recorder. Audio is mixed with video during post-process and should be available on the uploaded screencast.

Thanks,

Here are 5 more options about desktop audio recorder you can use to record audio from your computer.

They are varied from supported formats, operating systems, recording functions and capturing quality.

Besides, you can get a record solution from Joyoshare official, a good multimedia developer and provider.

Many Mac users have such audio recording issues due to the strict rule of system. If anyone still has this problem and looks for a decent Mac screen recorder with audio, pick the one that's embedded with perfect audio driver.. For recording audio only on Mac 10.14 or 15, Voice Memo only outputs microphone sound, Audacity is a nice choice for any audio capture from system or mic..

Hi @Anonymous 

We are adding the microphone entitlement to the Mac Screencast Recorder and this will fix the audio recording issues on Catalina and should be available soon.

Thanks,

Has the audio issue on Mac been fixed for Catalina?  

[ram.mummidi]

Hi @info5DNPA 

We are working on a new release that will fix this on Catalina and hopefully will release a new update to the recorder soon.

Thanks,--Ram

Do you have any updates on the audio for MAC users?

Hi @fab.clayton We're actively working on a fix. In order to address this we've had to do some major rearchitecture, and it has extended our timelines.

Any updates on a timeline for a release - or even a beta?

I am also unable to get audio recording working, in fact, audio does not seem to work for me full stop.  Even after uploading, there is no audio on my video.  Is there an ETA for a fix on this?

Snap! -- no audio (at all) in Screencast on the Mac here in MacOS 11.2.2. -- this is crazy, even Microsoft Teams can get the mic sorted!

  I'm having to report to Quicktime screen recordings -- or even worse, the Dell!

Details

Screencast Version 2.5 (Mainline) / Build Apr 18 2019 10:28:24 (1019977)

MacOS 11.2.2 on an iMac

I know that Screencast is free, and it's a great thing when it works, but ETA?

Any update on this?

It's been over a year with no updates, but Autodesk continues to provide the download of the now very old, and very broken version.

Will this ever get fixed?

[jesper8W75R]

Hello Autodesk!

No Audio whatsoever on Mac screencasts.

Two years and still no fix!!!

And not a beep from you, if you're even GOING to fix it.

Hi @jesper8W75R We have had significant delays in the updated recorder for Mac to address this issue, but a fix is planned. 

[colin.mcdonald]

... so, this semester is not happening either. (Sigh.)

  Any chance of a MacOS ETA pre-2022?

Cheers, Colin
