How to Fix Clipchamp Audio Quality Drop When Separating Audio
Question details
The user needs a solution or workaround for the significant reduction in sound quality that occurs when separating an audio track from a video file in Clipchamp.
- Product
- Clipchamp
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Separating audio from a video file on the timeline for independent editing.
- Observed behavior
- The detached audio loses significant quality, particularly in high frequencies, whereas exporting the intact video as an HD MP4 preserves the original audio fidelity.
Ensure your original video file contains a high-quality audio track, and try exporting the complete video as an HD MP4 first to verify that the audio issue only happens during the separation process.
Submit Feedback to the Clipchamp Development Team
Since this is a known encoding bug related to how Clipchamp processes detached audio, reporting it directly to the developers helps prioritize an official fix.
Currently, the degradation in audio frequencies during separation is a limitation of the software's internal processing, requiring a patch from Microsoft.
Click on the Help or Feedback icon located within the Clipchamp app interface or web dashboard.
Provide details on how the audio quality drops in high frequencies specifically when using the 'Separate audio' feature, and mention that standard HD exports are unaffected.
Once submitted, share your feedback link on Microsoft community forums so other affected users can upvote it and bring it to the team's attention faster.
Workaround: Extract Audio Externally
Bypass the Clipchamp audio separation bug entirely by exporting the full high-quality video and extracting the audio using a reliable third-party tool.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the audio quality drop when I separate it in Clipchamp?
When Clipchamp separates audio from a video on the timeline, it processes and re-encodes the audio track as a separate asset. This specific internal conversion currently applies compression that often results in the loss of high-frequency sounds.
Does exporting the whole video in Clipchamp ruin the audio quality?
No. Exporting the intact video as an HD MP4 retains the original audio fidelity. The quality drop is strictly isolated to the software's 'Separate audio' function.
How can I get this audio separation bug fixed permanently?
Because this is a software processing issue, it requires an update from the developers. The best approach is to use the in-app feedback option to report the bug to Microsoft Clipchamp and upvote similar feedback in the user forums.
