# Axia Driver appears to install and work fine but will not record

## Scope

This article applies to all variants of the Axia IP-Audio Driver. As of this writing, this is a known issue on Windows Server 2019 and Windows 10 operating systems. For additional information on preparing your OS for install please refer to our [release notes and install document](/v1/docs/axia-ip-driver-version-211010-release-and-install-information).

## Description of the Problem

The Axia IP-Audio Driver appears to install and work fine, however, you are not able to record anything. This happens when Windows Security is applied to sound card inputs.

## Resolution

The resolution is to change your microphone security settings to allow the system to have access to these devices. To do this;

1. Go to the Windows Search bar and search for Microphone Security.
2. Select Microphone Security Settings.
