How to Record Audio on PC without Microphone (3 Ways)

If the PC microphone is not working, how to record voice without microphone on computer is a problem for many people. Actually, what we can hear and record from the computer is the PC’s sound card, not the microphone. That means you can still record audio from the computer’s speaker with other voice recorders as long as the sound card supports it. A common way to record audio without microphone is using the Windows Stereo Mix feature, which allows you to record the output audio of your computer, such as system sound, gaming sound, etc.

To make Stereo Mix record the sound from your computer’s speakers or headphones, you should initially enable this feature. Now, I will show you how to record audio on computer without a microphone via Stereo Mix. Follow the steps:

Step 1. Go to the bottom right corner of your computer. Right-click on the sound icon and select "Audio Devices".

Step 2. Right-click in the "Recording" tab and check both "Show Disabled Devices" and "Show Disconnected Devices".

Step 3. Right-click on "Stereo Mix" and select the "Enable" option.

Step 4. You can set Stereo Mix as the default device and disable other options to avoid noise for audio recording.

Step 5. Find and open the "Voice Recorder" app on your PC to start recording audio without microphone.

That is how to record voice without microphone on computer via Stereo Mix. Note that the Windows Voice Recorder app supports recording audio in M4A format only. You can use a converter to change it to other audio formats, such as WonderFox HD Video Converter Factory Pro or Audacity. (The two apps can also record sound without microphone and edit audio files/recordings.)
