Tried recording a Facetime call and everything works fine - except the audio. The time leading up to it, from when I hit record and can hear myself or other sounds playing but once the person answers the call, there is no sound.
'If I try to record a YouTube video on safari, the iPhone screen video has no sound. However, if I try to record from the YouTube app, it does have sound. Keep in mind this is all without turning on microphone recording so there is no ambient noise.'
'My iPhone can't screen record internal sound/system audio. My microphone mic is turned off and the ringer (side button) is ON. I play music on iTunes, YouTube, etc and try to record the audio internally (via earphones, not through speaker) but there is no sound on the iPhone screen recording.'
The iOS 13/iOS 14 screen recording audio not working problem happens with YouTube/Instagram audio, facetime recordings, and streaming media. Except for wiretapping considerations that limits the recordings of conversations, the said issue sometimes arises because you haven't figured the built-in recorder correctly, or due to DRM (Digital Rights Management) protection, and other unkown bugs.
