Hi Keem_C,


We understand you're having issues with sound on screen recordings. We're happy to help.


You'll want to make sure you have the microphone enabled for screen recording. Go to Control Center, then tap and hold the Record button. This will open up screen recording options and at the bottom you'll have a Microphone On/Microphone Off button. You'll want to make sure that is turned on.


As far as sounds you can record, you mentioned something about music. If you're using the built in Music application, screen recording won't capture that sound as music is copyrighted. Many third party music applications will also block sound recording as well due to copyright laws.


Record the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


We hope this helps. Take care!
