Windows 10: Sound Recorder App on Windows 11. What does "Best" "High" and "Medium" quality represent?

I need to capture audio at a minimum quality of 16-bit and 8,000hz for a project. The Sound Recorder app that is pre-installed on Windows 11 devices does allow you to adjust some settings like recording format but when it comes to audio quality, they categories are very generic. They are listed as Auto, Best, High, and Medium. Can anyone give me specifics on what each of these selections represent? In terms of bit, Hz, etc.Cheers,

:)

 

sound clip recordings

Hi farby,

On my N8-00 with Anna firmware, sound clip recordings in high quality .MP4 format syncs into the videos folder on the PC - and Nokia Suite complains that it is unable to add the files to the gallery.

Recordings in medium quality .WAV and MMS compatible .AMR format are not synchronized at all.



It has been like this for at least a year, but I'm not sure if something is broken in my Suite installation or if it something worth reporting to the betalabs team?



Your first suggestion in this thread works for me. :smileyhappy:

Sound Quality

One thing that sticks out from looking at your "My Computer" specs. You list "ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)" which suggests you do not have the correct sound hardware driver. Your motherboard has Realtek sound and the first step is to install the Realtek sound drivers. My ASUS also came with Sonic Studio 2 which is a sound enhancement package. Check the ASUS install disc to see if you have something similar.

May not be a speaker problem.

 

Sound Recorder isn't Working!

Hello,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

To guide you In right direction we want to know:

-Are you using voice recorder or any other app to do so?

I would suggest you to try these methods and check if that helps:

Method 1:

Please run Recording Run Troubleshooter.

You may try to run the in-built Windows Recording Audio troubleshooter and check. Follow the steps:

• Press Windows Key + X..
• Click on Control Panel.
• Select Troubleshooting.
• On the left pane, click on View All.
• Click on Windows Recording Audio to run the troubleshooter.

Method 2:

If the issue persists, I suggest you to use the sound recorder and check if you are able to record the sound.

• In the Windows Start screen, type “sound recorder”, then select Sound Recorder from the search results.
• Try recording your voice through your microphone, then play it back. To do so, simply tap or click Start Recording, speak to the microphone, and then save the file so you can play the recording.

This will helps us to find out if the issue is with any online messenger like Skype or Windows.


I also suggest you to install the latest driver for Mic from the manufacturer’s website.
