Screen recording is useful for tutorials, gaming clips, or saving important steps, but it becomes frustrating when there is no sound in the recording. On the OnePlus 15, this problem is usually caused by audio source settings, permission issues, or system restrictions. The good news is that the issue is almost always fixable with a few targeted checks.
Why the OnePlus 15 Screen Recorder Has No Audio
- The audio source is set incorrectly in the screen recorder.
- Microphone or system sound permissions are disabled.
- Screen recording is limited by app level restrictions.
- Do Not Disturb or silent modes are interfering with audio capture.
- Temporary system glitches after a software update.
Fix the Screen Recorder Audio Source
The screen recorder can capture different types of audio, but it does not always default to the correct option. If the wrong source is selected, your recording will have no sound.
Swipe down from the top of the screen, and then swipe down again to fully open Quick Settings.
Tap Screen Recorder, and then tap the Audio source option.
Select System sound, Microphone, or Both, depending on what you want to record.
Enable Microphone and Audio Permissions
If permissions are blocked, the screen recorder cannot access audio even if the correct source is selected. This commonly happens after system updates or privacy changes.
Open Settings, and then tap Privacy.
Tap Permission manager, and then tap Microphone.
Make sure Screen Recorder is allowed to use the microphone.
Turn Off Silent and Do Not Disturb Modes
Silent mode and Do Not Disturb can block audio capture in recordings. Even if you hear sound during recording, it may not be saved in the final video.
Swipe down from the top of the screen, and then open Quick Settings.
Tap Do Not Disturb or Silent mode, and turn it off.
Start a new screen recording and test the audio again.
Check App Level Audio Restrictions
Some apps block internal audio recording for privacy reasons. Streaming apps and certain games often restrict system sound recording.
Open the app you are trying to record, and then check its in app audio or privacy settings.
Lower the restriction if available, or switch the screen recorder to Microphone mode.
Test recording again to see if voice audio is captured instead.
Restart the OnePlus 15
A restart refreshes system services that handle audio input and screen recording. This helps fix temporary bugs that cause recordings to save without sound.
Press and hold the Power key, and then tap Restart.
Wait for the phone to boot up completely.
Try recording your screen again with audio enabled.
Update the System Software
Audio recording issues are sometimes caused by software bugs that get fixed in updates. Keeping your device updated improves stability and compatibility.
Open Settings, and then tap About device.
Tap Software update, and then check for updates.
Install any available update and test the screen recorder again.
Once the audio source and permissions are set correctly, screen recording on the OnePlus 15 should work normally again. Most users find that adjusting the audio source or permissions fixes the issue immediately, without needing extra apps or advanced steps.
FAQs
Can the OnePlus 15 record internal audio from all apps?
No. Some apps block internal audio recording for privacy and copyright reasons. In those cases, you need to use the microphone instead.
Why does my screen recording have video but no sound at all?
This usually happens when the audio source is set to None or permissions are disabled. Checking both settings fixes the issue in most cases.
Does using headphones affect screen recording audio?
Yes. When headphones are connected, some audio sources may change automatically. Try recording without headphones or switch the audio source manually before starting the recording.
