Get No Sound for Screen Capture Using System Audio

[Kenneth Evans]

In Video Studio 5 Ultimate, I am trying to use Screen Capture on an application that plays music and has a window with an animation showing the chord progression as it plays. When I try to capture it using Voice as the Audio Settings, it works but the sound is low quality. I assume the reason is that it is recording the microphone listening to the speakers. If I use System Audio as the Audio Settings, then there is no sound in the captured video. I have verified this using Windows Media Player on the clip as well as in Video Studio 5. The sound _is_ coming out of the speakers, and the video part is OK. There _is_ a stereo sound track in the .wmv file that is created, but it is silent.

I get the same result trying to capture Windows Media Player playing a video clip that has sound. It captures the window and the video successfully, but there is no sound. On the other hand, I am able to capture the sound using other programs, such as Freecorder. Thus there is likely nothing wrong with my setup or drivers (and it can be done).

This is on Windows 7, 64-bit. I do not get any message saying System Audio is not available, as I have seen in other posts.

Any help would be appreciated.

Unfortunately, there has been no resolution to this issue, although screen capture works perfectly in X6

Hi Kenneth

It does appear that you are capturing the sound of the speakers via the Mic input, you need to activate System Audio.
Some users are able to use Screen Capture successfully, I do not understand why others have problems.
Please read these notes from the Corel Knowledge base.

VideoStudio Pro X5 - No system audio detected. Please make sure that this is enabled in your computer and try again

Hope this helps

Robert, Sorry I missed your post. (I tried to search for "screen" and "capture", but it said those were common words and wouldn't search. ) This is the same issue, and I am moving my comment to that topic. Further responses should be done there.
