Fix 2: Check Input Device in Overlay Settings

GeForce Experience may fail to record the game audio if you haven’t configured the correct input device. To fix it, open the overlay settings and manually specify the correct input device.

Step 1: Open the GeForce Experience overlay (press the Alt + Z keys), click the Microphone icon, and select Settings.

Fix 3: Adjust Audio Capture Settings

GeForce Experience lets you record system sounds and microphone tracks separately or together. To avoid missing the in-game audio, I recommend setting the microphone to record on a single track rather than separating them.

Step 1: Press the Alt + Z keys to open the GeForce Experience overlay and click the Microphone icon to open its Settings.
