Problem recording audio while using screen recorder

Mar 26, 2013

I'm currently making some screen recordings, while giving additional informatie through a microphone (Plantronics Blackwire C310).

When using the built-in Windows soundrecorder, the recording is fine. But when using the Articulate Screenrecorder, parts of the audio are missing. When saying: "You have to click here", i can only hear "You have to lick ere'.

How can I solve this?

Hi Martin!

That sounds pretty unusual - sorry for the trouble. Just out of curiosity, when a portion of the audio goes missing, does it happen to correlate to the timing of mouse clicks or keyboard strokes or anything?

Any chance you'd be able to try and record something with an example of what you're experiencing and send it in to us to take a closer look at? 

Thanks!

I tried it a couple of minutes ago on my office-desktop (running WIndows XP) instead of my office-laptop (running Windows 7), but that work's fine. But when working on my desktop PC, there a lot of background noises (radio for example).

Could you please tell me if the screen recorder uses a built-in noise-canceller?

I will try to record another piece (on my laptop) when I'm home tonight, to see if there is correlation with typing/clicking and the sounds missing...

Just in case someone else also had to deal with this issue:

I trieda couple of things:

 1) Recordingin a new Storyline file, that didn't help either.

2) Itried it on a different machine (windows XP instead of windows 7), that worked.

3) Itried it on the 'base' machine (Windows 7) with a different microphone (thebuilt-in laptop mic), that worked.

It seemslike the drivers of the headset (Plantronics Blackwire C310) for Windows 7 are buggy. I started to record mye-learning course on the Windows XP-machine, because there is time-pressure onthis course. For now, I can continue!
