But this software also has a shortcoming. As it's designed to capture the gameplay,Game Bar doesn't support capturing only the audio. Although it has a versatile recording tool that enables you to capture internal audio and your own voice simultaneously, you have to record those sounds along with recording the screen.

For those who want to record a ringtone orrecord a song at homeand use it as background music, Game Bar is relatively complex to use. You have to find a video editor that supports extracting audio from videos, such as EaseUS Video Editor, or you need to find a recorder with a more advanced audio recording tool, like EaseUS RecExperts.
