PowerPoint Video Recording Won't Record Audio?
There are many possible reasons why you record a video in PowerPoint without audio. Here are several workarounds to fix that audio issue.

When you record PowerPoint presentations with audio and video, a one-off glitch with PowerPoint can make audio recording unsuccessful. Try opening the task manager to close the PowerPoint program by ending the task and then launching it again.
Check the Microphone Recording Permission Setting
You should turn on the microphone option on your computer for other applications to access. Go to Settings > Privacy > Microphone, and toggle on the access permission option.
Use Audio Troubleshooter
Using the Audio Troubleshooter tool, you can find and solve the problem of PowerPoint failing to record audio. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters, click Recording Audio > Run the troubleshooter and follow the on-screen instructions.
Update PowerPoint
The outdated PowerPoint version may also be the cause. If the above methods don’t work for you, update the software to the latest to see.
Connection Problem
After you record audio and video on PowerPoint, play the video on another device and test whether there is a connection problem between the projector and the computer.
Turn off Defender Protection
