Recording your screen can be useful for tutorials, gaming highlights, or saving quick demonstrations. But it can get frustrating if your Tecno Pova Slim 5G screen recorder captures video with no sound. Luckily, there are several ways to fix this problem.
Why Your Tecno Pova Slim 5G Screen Recorder Has No Audio
- Microphone permission for the screen recorder is turned off.
- The audio source is set to none instead of system sounds or microphone.
- The phone is connected to Bluetooth headphones or an external device.
- A temporary software glitch is interfering with recording.
- Outdated system software or app version.
Check Audio Settings in Screen Recorder.
If your audio source is set incorrectly, the screen recorder will not capture sound. Make sure it is configured properly before starting a recording.
- Open Settings, and then tap Control Center & Notification Shade.
- Tap Screen Recording, and then check Audio source.
Select either Microphone or System sounds depending on what you want to record. Microphone is best for narrations, while System sounds capture in-app audio.
Allow Microphone Permission.
If microphone permission is disabled, the recorder will not be able to pick up any audio. Enabling it usually solves the issue right away.
- Open Settings, and then tap Apps & notifications.
- Tap App permissions, and then choose Microphone.
Look for Screen Recorder in the list and allow permission. After that, restart your phone and try recording again.
Disconnect Bluetooth Devices.
If your phone is connected to wireless earbuds or a Bluetooth speaker, audio may route there instead of being recorded. Disconnecting them forces the system to record internal audio.
- Open Settings, and then tap Connected devices.
- Tap Bluetooth, and then turn off the switch.
Try recording again with Bluetooth disabled to check if audio is captured correctly.
Restart the Tecno Pova Slim 5G.
A simple restart can clear minor glitches. It refreshes the phone’s processes and can restore the recorder’s ability to capture audio.
- Hold the Side button, and then tap Restart.
- Wait until the device reboots, and then test screen recording again.
Update System Software.
Sometimes the issue comes from outdated software. Installing the latest update can fix bugs related to screen recording and audio.
- Open Settings, and then tap System.
- Tap Software Update, and then check for updates.
If one is available, download and install it. Once the phone restarts, try recording again to confirm if audio works.
If your Tecno Pova Slim 5G screen recorder still has no sound, it is usually because of settings or permissions. By checking audio options, allowing the microphone, and keeping the device updated, you can usually fix the problem without extra tools.
FAQs
Can I record internal audio only on the Tecno Pova Slim 5G?
Yes. You can set the audio source to System sounds in the screen recorder settings to capture app and game audio without using the microphone.
Why is my microphone audio still not recording?
It may be disabled in app permissions. Go to Settings, open App permissions, and make sure the Screen Recorder app is allowed to use the microphone.
Will third-party screen recorder apps fix the issue?
Sometimes. If the built-in recorder still has problems after troubleshooting, using a trusted third-party recorder from the Play Store can be a temporary solution.
