I used to be able to click on a container field and record a sound. How can I do that now? It doesn't bring up the microphone? 

This works on my copy of 11.

 

Just follow the steps in the help HERE.

Thanks Lee

I followed those steps. It doesn't work. I checked the sound preferences  and it is set for internal microphone

When I double click on the container field it does nothing. When I scroll in the menu it allows me to select a sound from my files but nothing is letting me record in filemaker. Has this function gone away with new versions. Can anyone tell me if this still works in filemaker 13?

Sorry, you didn’t say you were doing this in 13,   so I tested this in 11 as per your Profile, and of course it worked in 11.

 

Please update your Profile to reflect your current Version of FileMaker, OS, and Platform. Here is a quick link for you. MY PROFILE

 

I haven’t used container fields for Audio/Video in in the past for any version of FileMaker. However that Audio dialog box used to drive me nuts when I would be selecting the container field for other things.

 

I have no experience in your need, so someone else will have to guide to from here.
