Make sure to find out the mic that you want to use with ShadowPlay to record audio and right-click on it.

Here you can see all the recording devices that are connected to your computer right now.

Click on Sounds from the drop-down list > Switch to the Recording tab.

Right-click on the speaker icon from the right side of the taskbar on your PC.

So, you should set up the correct audio device by following the steps below.

Sometimes you may set up multiple input/output audio devices and that can lead to confusion when it comes to using Nvidia ShadowPlay. Make sure to select the microphone as a proper audio source to check for the issue. If in case, the Nvidia ShadowPlay software is unable to record the in-game audio then the chances are high that somehow it can’t detect the proper audio source.

Make sure to choose Restart > Then try recording content with ShadowPlay to check for the issue.

Find out the NVIDIA Streamer service from the list and right-click on it.

Press the Windows + R keys on your keyboard to open the Run dialog box.

You should manually check for it and turn it on from services (if necessary). Nvidia ShadowPlay may not also work properly if in case the Nvidia services aren’t activated from the system settings.

Once done, start recording the in-game content via ShadowPlay, and check for the issue again.

Click on Apply and then click on OK to save changes.

Next, make sure to change the startup type from Manual to Automatic.

Scroll down the list and search for Nvidia > Double-click on it to select and open.

Now, type services.msc in the search box and hit Enter to open the Services option.

Press the Windows + R keys to open the Run dialog box.

Luckily, there are some fixes that can come in handy.

This particular bug can ruin the gaming experience and the streamers will get frustrated a lot when the gameplay recording doesn’t have audio. But some unfortunate users are unable to take the advantage of this software as the sound doesn’t record at all. Nvidia ShadowPlay performs really well when it comes to recording gaming clips or taking screenshots in the gameplay, etc.
