[GUIDE] Fixed: Screen recording internal audio issue on Android 11

Hi everyone,

I've been struggling for a week to record gameplay with internal audio on my Android 11 device. Every time I tried to record, the video was silent, even though other games worked fine.

After some testing, I found a solution that worked for me: The issue was caused by the latest updates to "Android System WebView". Apparently, the newer versions apply security restrictions that block screen recorders from capturing internal audio.

I have personally tested this on Android 11, and it fixed the problem immediately.

Here is how to fix it:

  1. Go to your Phone Settings.
  2. Open Apps.
  3. Search for "Android System WebView".
  4. Tap the three dots in the top right corner.
  5. Select "Uninstall updates" (this reverts it to the factory version).
  6. Restart your device.

After doing this, the internal audio recording started working perfectly!

Important: Make sure to turn off auto-updates for this app in the Google Play Store, otherwise, it will update again and the problem will return.

Note: While I tested this specifically on Android 11, it is worth a try if you are on a newer Android version experiencing the same issue.

Hope this helps anyone facing the same issue!
