Sound does not record with video on MacOS Mojave

Problem: Built in mic is not being recorded with on-screen video.

I have just upgraded to a new operating system, MacOS Mojave and I have noticed that I can’t record a built-in microphone with ActivePresenter. It worked fine on MacOS High Sierra before.

I don’t see an audio wave at all when recording. It does not show on the timeline after recording in the editing mode, and the calibration does not show the sound wave either.

At the same time, I can record sounds using an internal microphone just fine with any other software, so I know it is not related to my computer. I must be something within the ActivePresenter that happened after updating to a new operating system.

I have emailed the log along with screenshots to Atomi support email. Any suggestions or workarounds will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi Renia,

We have checked but it still works well on our macOS Mojave. So we need more time to find out the cause problem. Can you please let us know the configuration of your MAC?

I tried to uninstall AP and installed it again but the same issue persists.

I am including screen shots in case this might help. The mic icon is green but there is no graphical representation of wave at sound calibration.

Sound recording works fine with any other application and unfortunately, I can’t figure it out with AP.

Hi,

Can you please check to see if ActivePresenter is enabled for accessing Microphone or not by the following steps:

  • Open Systems Preferences.
  • Click Privacy.
  • Select Microphone in the list on the left.
  • Make sure that ActivePresenter is selected.
