Microphone input is not recorded

Hello, thank you for the great app. It is very cool indeed.

MacOS: 15.2 (24C101) QuickRecorder: Version 1.6.0 (160)

I face one issue, Microphone input is not recorded in system audio recording mode (audio checkbox is active). However, it works in screen recording mode. Basically

  • If the microphone checkbox is active and I select the first option(System Audio) the microphone is not recorded, but if I select the second option(screen) the microphone is captured.
  • I tried with different microphone inputs including, default, AirPods, and system audio.

A small side note, the readme might need an update. "Mixdown the track from microphone" doesn't exist in the settings.

This is a known issue and will be fixed in v1.6.1

That option has been renamed to "Record Microphone to Main Track"

Just out of curiosity, is there any specific reason that you don't use Screencapturekit to record microphones?

Technically it should be possible https://developer.apple.com/documentation/screencapturekit/scstreamconfiguration/capturemicrophone

Because this feature is only available on macOS 15.0+
But QuickRecorder needs to be compatible with as low as macOS 12.3
So at least until macOS 16 is released, I won’t go to the trouble of writing two completely different microphone workflows😢

That totally makes sense. Thank you for fixing the bug so quickly, great job!

I confirm this to be fixed as well. Just make sure to enable 'System Audio' before recording, because it is not enabled by default:

Good job on the software, @lihaoyun6
