Screenbits captures audio from output and input audio devices. You can capture audio either individually in audio capture mode or add it to the captured video when using other [[Capture_mode|capture modes]]. == Recording Devices Input and output audio ==You Screenbits uses general terms for the audio sources which it can record capture. The term ''output audio '' refers to the audio which is generated by the system and provided to an external device. This is usually the system sound which you can hear from any speakers or headphones. In contrast, ''input or output audio'' refers to the audio generated by an external device including , usually a microphone , and speakers (is provided as an input to the system sound). == Audio capture mode ==In audio capture mode, audio devices are the only capture source so the output only contains audio, and [[Recorder|recorder]] produces audio files.#From the application window, click '''Audio''' button under ''Mode'' section.#Under ''Source'' section, enable at least one of the input or audio devices to capture.
