Solved No audio in .avi videos for MS Platinum 13

I am new to all this so please bare with me. I have Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 13 along with Action! recording software by Mirillis and all of them are .avi. This is my first time recording and editing a video and I plan to upload to YouTube. Every time I select the video I want to edit, the window pops up for me to select the clip I want and when I highlight the clip the audio category tells me, "Stream attributes could not be determined". It was working fine on Monday when I was doing some test recordings. I currently use a Logitech G933 Artemis Spectrum to listen and record my voice and I used Windows 10 Videos & Movies app to see if it's my recording software acting up but I was able to hear myself clearly. Please ask if you need more details. Thank you.

It sounds like the video codec/audio codec being used is not compatible with Sony software.
This is not unusual for Video Screen Capture Devices/Programs.

Most of this devices offer many different recording modes/formats to select from.
You need to experiment with ALL formats and find the correct combination that works in Movie Studio.
If you Google search "Action! and Sony Vegas", you should find lots of information on this topic.

Here are the specs for Action!

It sounds like you have been recording with the Mirillis codec.
Action! can also output to H.264/AVC - this should definitely work OK instead of using .avi


The other thing you have to be careful with is recording Audio to 5.1 Surround or Stereo. Stereo is always the safest option.
If you record to 5.1 instead, you need to make sure Movie Studio Audio Project Properties are also set to 5.1 Surround, otherwise you may experience problems.

The other solution some people use is to convert the Audio component of video into a .wav file outside of Movie Studio/Vegas, using a Sound Editor or Video Converter program. Then import only the Video file and then import the converted .wav version of Audio file. You can import only Video section of any video clip, by dragging video onto timeline with right-click of mouse instead of left-click and selecting Video only.
