QuickTime not recording sound

I'm running OS X 10.8.2 with QuickTime 10.2 and can't get the screen recordings to record audio.
I've tried all of the settings in System Preferences > Sound for both Output and Input and even have Soundlflower installed and have chosen those as options also, but I can't get the audio to record. Or that is... no matter what settings I use for Input... it ONLY records from my 27" iMac's internal microphone.
So... while recording the video that's playing on screen if I talk (to test it) the audio recording of my talking is fine... but no setting will allow me to record what the audio on the video is.
This didn't just begin in 10.8.2... I'm just finally getting around to posting about it because I'd like to occasionally record videos on the screen.
The videos record without a problem.
EDIT: If I select Soundflower (16c) for the Input then the Sound preference pane displays the sound on the video is being recognized by the system (i.e. the Input level shows the bar changing from the audio in the video). But when I play the QT file back... no sound.
Any advice?

I have found a solution to your problem!
I have Logmein installed, and I selected it for the sound output.
I than selected it as the audio source in quicktime and it worked like a charm. I was able to record video with system audio and it was perfect!
I hope this helps!
If @apple is listening tho, There should be an option to select system audio when recording a screen cap with quicktime.

In my first iPhone 5, the speaker didn't work and people could not hear me on Speaker phone when I used it. When I used the video recording it did not record sound at all only a hissing/static sound, no voice.

In my first iPhone 5, the speaker didn't work and people could not hear me on Speaker phone when I used it. When I used the video recording it did not record sound at all only a hissing/static sound, no voice. I wished for a software fix. I did a hard reset, nothing. I did a full restore to factory settings not putting my backup on and the problem persisted.

I did every step in the link that i have been provided with (thank you), but I’m
still experiencing the same issue. My experience with Apple has been
excellent and this has been the first time I have experienced something
like this with an Apple product. I hope we can find a quick solution.
In order to get the iPhone 5 as soon as it launched (being a major fan of
Apple products!), I purchased my iPhone 5 from the UK through a friend of
mine who lives there.
My question is: can I have the faulty device replaced within Saudi by one
of the official resellers here (we have 3: STC, Mobily and Zain)? I want to
avoid the disruption, complication and expense of sending it back to the
UK.
Could you advise whether this is possible or not, and if not how should I
go about having the device replaced?
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Nice try! Take a hike.

Quicktime not recording audio in New Movie Recording

Audio is not recorded when using an audio interface as the input in New Movie Recording, but records fine when in New Screen and Audio Recording. Using my laptop's internal microphone is fine, cannot work out what the problem is, as it has worked absolutely fine in the past, but has stopped.
Sound can be heard and the volume meter in Quicktime responds to sound coming in, just doesn't record at all in that mode.

Are you launching Captivate with Run As Administrator privilege?
If one of your co-workers logs onto your PC with their user profile, does the same microphone that doesn't work for you work OK for them?

Quicktime Cannot Record Sound

Hello All,
I have a problem with QUICKTIME That i cannot record sound. So i cant really record sounds properly at Least Sound Recorder Works but not Screen Recorder.
SO PLEASE HELP!

I have a problem with QUICKTIME That i cannot record sound. So i cant really record sounds properly at Least Sound Recorder Works but not Screen Recorder.
If you are referring to recording of "system" audio during a screen recording, then that is not a feature "natively" included in QT X and you would have to invest in a third-party app having this built-in option.
If you are referring to mic voice-overs or access to non-native software you have installed, then use the recorder triangle option to select an input option. While you can mic record system audio playing back through your system speakers, the audio is usually of poor quality if the volume is too low or prone to feedback if the volume is set too high.

IMovie not recording sound with iSight image

In system preferences > sound, I have Built-in microphone selected. But Audacity won't record sound (never works anyway) and iMovie will record image from the iSight, but no sound.
What am I missing?

You're welcome. After further investigation, not only does the volume in the system preferences affect the mic, the actual "voice over" (microphone icon) does as well, even though I'm recording with iSight and not, specifically, a voice over.
However, fantastic YouTube video diaries or whatever they're called must be done on a PC or a Mac that knows how to shut up. If there's one thing right now that's about to make this computer fly through the air, it's the fans that rev up to 6000 and even an external mic picks up the noise. Not much I can do about it. Maybe Snow Leopard and iLife '09 solved the issue.

Photo booth will not record sound with video

I have always been able to record sound when using photo booth. Now i cant seem to do it.

Have you got your Input Sound in System Prefs set to Internal microphone or Line in?

ISight not recording sound in

So, Ive been playing around with Photobooth, and recently, I've lost the ability to record the sound of the videos I make through it.
I've checked the sys pref and test the audio input mic and the bars move just fine. I can even record sound from the isight through iMovie - it comes through fine. Any idea on how to address this? I'm perplexed. Sounds like the app to me...but I'm a recent convert

Hello Tubulcane
If repairing permissions doesn't help, I agree with your diagnosis. Try reinstalling the app. Take a look at this post if you need help:

I got an HP pro book. Anyone have any tips on how to get it recording sound (video works fine)?

Is your user in the audio group (this may be different now with systemd)? Sometimes you need PA to get the mic to record.

TS1702 IPhone5 video camera not recording sound

My new iPhone 5 does not record audio when using the camera to record video. Any suggestion welcome

I have the same problem. It's intermittent but it doesn't work more than it does work so it would be easy to replicate. Sometimes audio would record in and out in a single recording, sometimes nothing but hissing/static. I do not run a cover of any sort, and my fingers are not covering any holes.

Quicktime screen recording sound issue?

Satellite A350D does not record sound

Hi
I have been browsing through the forums trying various settings through the control panel and webcam drivers but dont seem to be having any luck. There was a post talking about "bios" but different laptop version than mine.
My laptop was orignally Windows Vista but the harddrive went two weeks ago and had to be replaced. The recovery disks that were made when the laptop was bought new did not work at all as they would not load, and the Vista number on the sticker under the computer had worn out (my machine is about 4 years old) so we put Windows 7 on the machine.
I finally got my camera working again with a driver download but the sound / microphone recording is not working as there is no sound in the test videos I have done.
If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.
Thanks
Shelly

Which Satellite A350D?
If it's a US model, it's more likely to be A305D.
The model number looks something like Satellite A305D-S6831. The part number like PSAH0U-00J007.

Windows 8.1 Movie Maker Alone Does Not Record Sound (and never did)

I am using Windows 8.1 and having audio problems with Windows Movie Maker. The problem is that it will record visually but not audibly. In other words, I record a video from my webcam, and my appearance is fine, but the audio is blank.
Likewise, recording narration does not work either.
I do not understand this, because I have used my webcam on skype, and youtube: the sound works fine. I have checked the volume, I have checked recording devices, which all imply that recording is doing fine. I checked video volume, everything
was implied as fine. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Windows Movie Maker. I have had help from a computer friend and we looked at every avenue we could. If someone could tell me what I need to do to make the audio work on Windows Movie
Maker, I would appreciate it. There may be some small thing we're missing.
THERE A WEBCAM PROGRAM AS A DECENT ALTERNATIVE TO MOVIE MAKER THAT HAS THE OPTION OF RECORDING NARRATION AS WELL? IS THERE SOMETHING I MISSED? If someone could tell me something, I would appreciate it greatly.

Hi,
Go to sound Volume Mixer and see if Windows Movie Maker shows up and is not muted.
Meanwhile, for issue about Windows Movie Maker, it is recommended to post in following forum:

Quicktime not exporting sound

Litreally that... I bought quicktime pro because I got a video iPod so I could transfer some music videos and films already on my computer. But when I export it, it plays with no sound. Ive checked everything and found that in the export options it says there is no track audio... But there is...
It plays originally with sound but not after.
Please help

Youre are most certainley not alone. Apparently something about the conversions of mpeg 2 s or somethings... makes it loose sound. Im trying to fix it by using a freeware someone told me to buy (even though I too bought pro and am also frustared) you should check the thread I have on here it explains the freeware thing but other than that Im as lost as you are.
