Only had this new Acer R14 a month.  Tried using Windows Voice Recorder yesterday to record a short meeting (recording voices around a table).  The recording has gaps of from a few seconds to a minute or more of silence.  All drivers are up to date, troubleshooter finds nothing wrong.  What is the issue?  Windows 10.  Actually, I made an assumption it's the microphone, maybe it's a Voice Recorder app issue. 

 

Also when I would switch apps to MS Word to type during recording, the recording would completely stop; how do I prevent this?
