After fresh installation, could not find the option "Select input device". After solved this issue, no Audio in playback. #1213

macOS version: 14.2.1 Kap version: 3.6.0 Mac chip: Apple M2 Max

Steps to reproduce

Fresh install then open Kap's preference.

Current behaviour

Could not scroll down to find more options in Preferences.

Can only see:

For a new user, this would mislead him to believe no more options are available.

Workaround

I restart Mac, open Kap again, Preferences page is scrollable. (Maybe just restarting Kap would also work. But at that moment, I was so angry that I angrily restarted my Mac. You could try relaunching Kap first.)

After I could toggle "Audio recording", I did not change "Select input device" dropdown, leave it as the default one "System default".

I am sure my mic works well, and very sure Kap is allowed to use my mic in System's Privacy setting, but no audio in playback.

The most tricky part is after I manually select input device to another option other than "System default":

Audio is recorded after that. Even after I switched back to "System default".

BUT

Hey, Kap's team, you did a great job! Kap is the most satisfying screen recording app I have ever used! These bugs maybe are rare cases I run into, they are no big deal anyway. Anyone who got the same headache could jump over it following my steps.

You could close this issue at anytime!

Cheers!
