Notes for DR1:
You will not hear the audio while working in Coach Paint, but the audio will be included in the exported video.
Changing the audio settings in the Config Editor will erase any imported work. Back up your work before making changes.
Disk Recorder 2 (DR2)
DR2 is the default recorder for installations starting with Coach Paint version 9.7. While it includes enhancements such as dynamic memory allocation and automatic transcoding, it does not currently support exporting videos with audio.
If exporting videos with audio is essential, you will need to switch to DR1 or edit the exported video with a third-party tool.
If you want to switch from DR2 to the original DR1, please follow these steps: Select DR1 as your standard disk recorder
