Hi Anna,
Well, it's been a learning experience although my final comment is that the screen recorder at least on my iPhone 7 doesn't record the Voiceover audio loud enough to be usable. Apple Accessibility was very helpful at making some suggestions and the main thing they helped me with is to turn off my audio ducking setting. Audio ducking has never really worked all that well for me and has consistently been a problem causer with Voiceover. I noticed that when I turned off audio ducking and restarted my phone, the app that had the problem which I was trying to record in order to submit to their Support, now works correctly. I'm leaving audio ducking off going forward. I will end this thread by saying that the screen recorder just doesn't work right on my iPhone 7. With wired earpods connected, I hear Voiceover just fine when recording but since audio output is going to the earpods, nothing spoken by Voiceover gets recorded. When I disconnect the earpods and try another screen recording with my volume turned all the way up, I can just barely hear Voiceover enough to generate the recording but the volume is so low on that recording that it could not be submitted to anyone for support purposes. I told this to Apple Accessibility but my sense is that different devices are getting different results with the screen recorder. My support rep has an iPhone X and she seems to be getting pretty good results. Why am I not surprised that their latest $1000+ device works the best. I believe you're getting similar results. At least I figured out the issue with my app and no longer need a screen recording. Thanks so much for your help with this thread.

You probably can't get it as loud as would be ideal, but you may be able to get it to a tolerable level. That was my experience.

This is the sort of frustrating inconsistency with iOS and its various devices that I find most offputting. When I follow the steps you outlined and leave my wired earpods plugged in, I hear Voiceover just fine through them as I'm making the recording but none of the Voiceover audio is picked up in the recording. I can hear that the microphone is on because the low level hiss is picked up but none of the spoken Voiceover words are recorded. If I have no earpods connected and try to screen record, I can't hear any audio so that making the recording is all but impossible as I'm not getting any audible feedback. When I play that recording within the photos app, I can just barely hear the Voiceover audio but it certainly isn't loud enough to submit it to anyone for tech support with a Voiceover issue. I guess I'm stuck either writing Apple Accessibility, opening a case with AppleCare, or going to the Apple Store. Any of these options will take considerable time which I find exceedingly frustrating. Is anyone else having a problem similar to mine or did I just dream a past similar thread?

I didn't have a luck-up when I turned on the mic. When I do a recording, VoiceOver gets quieter; I think it goes to the earpiece - but it doesn't stop altogether. I tried the same thing with a 5s and had the same results. Maybe try restarting your phone to see if you'll have better luck.

The funny thing is that when I follow your instructions and turn the microphone on,Voiceover goes quiet and I have to lock my iPhone 7 running iOS 11.2.6 to get it back. I seem to recall reading about an issue with the screen recorder and maybe I've just stepped into it. I really want to be able to use this feature to record video with the Voiceover audio but I'm either still leaving off a step or something is not working right. Thanks again.

To turn it on, press hard on the Screen Recording button if you have 3D Touch, or double-tap and hold it, flick to Open Controls, and double-tap. You'll be able to turn the mic on on the screen that opens. Once it's on, it should be on for all future recordings unless you turn it off.

I'm reporting an issue with one of my apps and their support person has asked that I capture a screen recording that plays the video and audio of what I'm experiencing. I added the screen recorder control to control center as explained in the Apple Support article and used it to record a one plus minute session with the app in question. However, when I retrieved and played the video from the Photos app, no audio was captured. Is there a bug causing this issue or is there some step I omitted that is needed to also capture the audio? I would very much appreciate any assistance so I can submit a recording which also contains audio.
