Hello, I'm having the same troubles. I can't record in MP4 because the program crashes after stopping the recording, so I record on AVI but I don't get any sound as noted in another topic below. I also get some video archives I can't delete, they are stuck there. Here are my settings.
I also attach my DxDiag.
Please help us >:

Sorry for the double posting, but I can't post the DxDiag file, it seems like I can't attach the txt file.

Please try following steps below to completely re-install Action. You will need your serial number to activate your product again.
1. Uninstall Action!
2. Press Start and then type "Regedit" in search and press Enter.
3. Go to the following path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Mirillis/
4. Remove Action! catalog.
5. Reboot your PC.
6. Install Action! again. Make sure that your installer file comes from official website -
www.mirillis.com (if you have not purchased Action! through Steam).
You can activate Action! with the same serial number as before.
These steps should restore your Action! settings to default.

Still nothing, this happens after finishing an MP4 recording. After that I can't close Action, I have to close STEAM entirely to stop it and open it again to keep trying to use it.

After recording in AVI, the audio is still missing.

If you change the dxdiag file extension to .zip you will be able to add it to the post.

It may be a problem with audio recording. Go to Settings -> Audio and disable "record sound" option.
See if that works.
