micro and speakers not captured

[ohmann92]

hi,
I'm on windows, it seems that the micro and the speakers are not captured. also it's not clear whether this would work when you have headphones.

Hi, Could you please check your settings and make sure our app has permission to access your microphone? Let me know if that solves it!

[davebrong]

I can confirm this as an issue as well on Windows. Microphone Privacy does not show the Glass app or anything related (Electron, etc). It doesn't appear to try to request access.

Here's a run log if it helps:

pickle-glass@0.1.0 start
npm run build:renderer && electron-forge start

pickle-glass@0.1.0 build:renderer
node build.js

Starting screen capture in main process

Working on it thanks

[DarellBoyle]

Maybe fallback to system default audio input/output when device not detected?

Hi everyone, thank you for raising this issue and for the detailed logs.

I've tested this on my Windows machine with the latest release, and it seems that the microphone and speaker capture is now working correctly.

Based on this, I will be closing this issue for now. If anyone is still experiencing the same problem after updating to the latest version, please feel free to reopen this issue.

Thanks again for your contributions!

[michabbb]

it´s not. if you start the exe (the standalone without setup) no audio device gets used, even if the correct mic is the default one

[davebrong]

Confirmed, still does not appear to be resolved. I even tried using Device Manager to disable secondary input sources, so there is only one mic option and it doesn't pick it up.

[Akshay-Arjun]

@samtiz Issue not resolved, looping you back in.
