In addition, it has all screen recording features and records internal audio efficiently on Mobizen, LG and Samsung Android phones. Hence, this application may not work on Android devices made by other manufacturers. Follow the steps below to operate this application:

Step 1. Download the Mobizen Screen Recorder and install it on your Android phone.

Step 2. Launch the application. Next, look for the Settings icon in the top right corner of your screen.

Step 3. Tap the sound option and enable it. Then, select the internal audio option and pick the location for the recorded files.

Step 4. Start the recording and save the edited output. Your device will record and get the quality internal audio of your video or game for the screen recording session.

#2. AZ Screen Recorder

Like the Mobizen Screen Recorder, the AZ screen recorder is free and downloadable from Google Play Store. However, using this application will require that you stay in a quiet room because the microphone can pick external sounds into your recording.

In addition, you need to transfer the recording to a PC to extract the audio file from the screen recorder using video editing software.

Moreover, if you don't know how to screen record on Android, you can also try this application.

Method 2. Record Android Internal Audio using a Capture Card 

Another method of recording internal audio on Android is using a capture card. Capture cards serve as a bridge between the PC you are recording to and the device (Android) you are recording from. Though expensive, they are very effective in capturing quality internal audio.

The process of using the capture card varies based on the type you have. This is because each capture card has its screen recording software. An example is the Elgato capture card familiar with professional gamers. Here's how to use it to record internal audio from your Android.

Step 1. Download Elgato Game Capture HD software and install it.

Step 2. Open the Android application or game (using an emulator) you want to record from. Then, select the option (Team Chat/Music/PC Gaming) that corresponds to your input source.

Step 3.  Click the audio output from "Where do you want to hear your audio?" under Settings. Next, click Settings (gear icon) and open Preferences.

Step 4. Under the Sharing tab, tick your preferred choice under "Mix the following tracks to exports."

Step 5. Lastly, tick your preferred option under "Export to separate files." Then click OK.

From there, your internal audio recording will be saved.
