Recording your screen on the Xiaomi 15 Ultra should capture both visuals and sound, but sometimes the audio is missing after you stop the recording. This can make tutorials useless, gameplay clips silent, or meetings impossible to review. In most cases, the issue comes from disabled audio sources, permission limits, or sound conflicts, and all of them are easy to fix once you know where to look.
Why Your Xiaomi 15 Ultra Screen Recorder Has No Audio
- System sound or microphone audio is turned off in screen recorder settings.
- App permissions are blocking microphone access.
- Media volume is muted or set too low during recording.
- Bluetooth headphones or external audio devices are interfering.
- Certain apps restrict audio recording for privacy reasons.
Check Screen Recorder Audio Source
The screen recorder lets you choose whether to capture system sounds, microphone audio, or both. If none are selected, the video will record silently even if everything else looks fine.
Open the Screen Recorder app, and then tap the Settings icon.
Tap Sound source, and then select System sounds, Microphone, or Both depending on what you need.
Start a new recording to confirm that audio is now captured.
Allow Microphone Permission for Screen Recorder
Without microphone access, the screen recorder cannot capture voice audio. This often happens after system updates or when permissions are denied by mistake.
Open Settings, and then tap Privacy and security.
Tap Permission manager, and then tap Microphone.
Find Screen Recorder and allow access while using the app.
Increase Media Volume Before Recording
Screen recordings rely on media volume, not call or notification volume. If media volume is muted, the recording will have no sound.
Press the Volume Up key, and then tap the three dots to open volume controls.
Increase the Media volume slider, and then start your screen recording again.
Play a video or sound to confirm audio is being captured.
Disconnect Bluetooth Devices
Bluetooth earbuds or speakers can redirect audio away from the recorder. This makes the video silent even though sound plays through your headset.
Swipe down from the top to open Quick Settings, and then tap Bluetooth.
Turn Bluetooth off, and then start a new screen recording.
Check the recording playback to see if audio is restored.
Test With a Different App
Some apps block audio recording for security reasons. Banking apps, streaming apps, and some games may not allow system sound capture.
Open a different app that plays sound, and then start screen recording.
Stop the recording and check playback audio.
If sound works, the issue is app specific and cannot be bypassed.
Restart Your Phone
Temporary system glitches can affect audio services. A restart refreshes system processes and often resolves recording issues instantly.
Swipe down from the top to open Quick Settings, and then tap the Power icon.
Tap Restart, and then wait for the phone to boot up fully.
Test the screen recorder again after reboot.
Screen recording with audio on the Xiaomi 15 Ultra usually fails because of a small setting or permission issue. Once the correct sound source is enabled and permissions are allowed, recordings should capture audio normally again.
