Thecommand control mmsys.cpl launches the Sound Control Panel directly because control lets you launch a bunch of control panels / settings / applets directly instead of trying to navigate to them through the newer screens that Windows starts you at. There are a bunch of other things that can follow control to launch various windows. I found quite a few lists by searching for control cpl on my preferred search engine: Microsoft list, a different Microsoft list, and a LifeWire list. This can be handy if you want to jump straight to a settings panel or if that panel still exists but can't be launched by any navigation of the "normal" control panel.
I've recently upgraded to Windows 11 and I'm encountering some difficulties with a task that I think many of you might have experience with. Specifically, I'm trying to figure out how to record my screen on Windows 11 with sound. While I've found the built-in screen recording tool in Windows 11 to be quite straightforward for capturing video, I'm struggling to include audio in my recordings.
I've done some basic troubleshooting like checking my microphone and system sound settings, but I haven't had much luck so far. It's crucial for my work to create high-quality screen recordings that include both the screen activity and the accompanying audio, so any advice, tips, or recommendations from this community would be greatly appreciated.
PowerPoint's screen recording tool is integrated into the application, eliminating the need for third-party software for screen capture. This feature is particularly useful for educators, trainers, and professionals who want to create engaging presentations that include demonstrations, tutorials, or walkthroughs of software applications. You can record your entire screen or select specific areas to capture, and you also have the option to record audio from your microphone and the system audio.
Recording your screen on Windows 11 with sound can be accomplished by using the built-in tool, Snipping Tool, which has been updated to include screen recording features. First, ensure that your system's sound settings are properly configured to capture the audio you intend to record, whether it's system sounds, microphone input, or both.
To start, open the Snipping Tool from the Start menu or by searching for it. In the Snipping Tool's interface, you'll find an option to switch from image capture mode to screen recording mode. Before you begin recording, you can choose the audio source you want to include in your recording via the app's settings. Ensure the correct audio source is selected to capture the sound accompanying your screen recording.
Once you're ready to record, select the area of the screen you wish to capture or choose to record the full screen. Then, click the record button to start capturing both your screen and the selected audio. The Snipping Tool allows you to pause and resume the recording as needed, giving you flexibility in what you capture.
After you've finished recording, you can stop the recording, and the file will be automatically saved to your chosen location. The Snipping Tool also provides basic options for trimming your video before saving, allowing you to remove unwanted sections from the beginning or end of your recording. This built-in functionality in Windows 11 makes it convenient and straightforward to record your screen with sound without the need for additional software.
@Smithchow& many others, pls don't fall for these kind of Clickbaits! @Smithchow was saved that this wasn't a virus! I've seen people get scammed because of this! For example, last month, my best friend's dad download a software for recording his meetings. It was something like "TunesRecorder Pro". First of all, if the software requires you to give it administrative privileges EVERY time you launch it, I give you a 99.999% guarantee it's a virus. It's the MOST sus sign of ANY software possibly being a Trojan Horse! And I'm telling you... They can mess up your device REAL DEEP... As deep as your BIOS! So never ever "TRUST" anything. Even if it's a HUGE company like Microsoft or Apple, DO NOT TRUST THEM STRAIGHT AWAY!
If you need a screen recording software, just press Win+G. It will open Xbox Game Bar. Now in the "Capture" window, click the white dot option. Now just press any key & it will start recording.
@Anushtabh_Pateria Same experience here. I got a virus that hijacked my Chrome browser. Whenever I search for something, it led me to some ad pages. And it's very hard to remove the virus. I then had to reinstall Windows 11. I never trust any free tools now except open sources which are difficult to use for average people : (. Then, I bought the tool named ease us. Quite expensive but I'm assured. Here is an article I found this brand wrote -the Power Point way is quit easy if the third party recording software won't be a choice.
My computer is recognizing my UFX II, says it is up to date and working correctly, but the computer does not allow me to select the UFX II as my sound input/output device from the available drop-down menus in sound preferences.

Please advise! I'm new to Windows... trying to learn my way around that I can troubleshoot such issues myself.
I apologize in advance if a solution to this has been detailed. If there is such a thing, I am trying my best to find it!
Windows and most applications do not support ASIO.
So for Windows and non-asio-aware applications you need to create WDM devices for those I/O ports
where e.g. monitors and phones are connected to.
This you do in the RME driver settings see "WDM devices".
One of these ports you select as "Speaker Device", then you get a Speaker Icon for this particular port,
so that you can identify it easier, this you make to the Windows default sound device.
For pure DAW work you simply load the ASIO driver, the ASIO driver has direct access to the recording interface and also bypasses the Windows Sound system with the goal to avoid any potential quality degradation and latency.
I have been searching the following path and clicking on everything I can imagine might bring it up: device manager --> sound/game controllers --> rme ufx ii --> rme ufx ii properties --> driver details --> ____?
On the topic of setting up WDM Devices on windows is there any way to force 5.1 (instead of 7.1) as the default multi-channel configuration. Games and applications assume I'm running 7.1 hardware channels but I only have 5.1. Which means the fold downs are wrong/not happening.
"The driver settings you find in the notification area which is located at the right end of the taskbar at the bottom of your screen. For the MADIface driver the icons name is "MADIface Series Settings". If the icon is hidden, then you have to customize the taskbar."
Open Fireface USB setting window, and check how many WDM Devices are under Options part of the babyface tab... If there is 0 then you have your answer, if 1 or more then I can't help... Anyway you can try to change the WDM Devices number to see if it has any influence on the Windows sound devices list...
I've been part of a Zoom open mic for over a year and joined the open mic whilst using HP A8 on windows 10 with no problems, but with the HP Envy on windows 11 no music or musical instruments, or even whistling is heard by other's taking part, whilst talking is heard.
I've gone through the settings on both the laptop and on windows with latest updates installed without success, I am one stop away from taking the laptop back and demanding either money, but having installed so much would rather get to the bottom of what's causing the problem any help would be most appriciated
I've been inform that until Windows get their act together by bring out a patch of zoom manages a work around we are lumbered unless we role back to using windows 10 where they haven't got the problem which suggests it's a windows 11 fault
I have just experienced the same problem with an Open Mic on Zoom that works great on Windows 8. The sound on my new Windows 11 laptop was absolutely terrible, I had to go back to my old laptop to participate. Very frustrating as you assume that a newer version will be better not worse! Just like above, voices were kind of okay, but couldn't hear guitar at all.
Thanks. Unfortunately I am already on version 22H2, it was just installed a few days ago. I wonder whether there is some settings that need to be changed, but I can't see anything under audio settings on Windows or Zoom.
I was having the same issue, and read another post suggesting this: in Zoom settings, Audio, Advanced: turning off the "signal processing by windows audio device drivers". I made this change and now my musical instrument playing can be heard by others in the meeting/lesson. The last result suggestion was to reinstall Windows 10.
It is January 20, 2023. I just got Win11 laptop last week, and now people in zoom meetings cannot hear the bell...nor my voice in the same pitch. I already reinstalled zoom and updated my sound system driver...it worked for a day, then stopped working again...is there a solution yet? this was NEVER a problem with win 10
