I've tried making popcorn in my microwave several times. The corn kernels are not expired.

On the highest setting (800 watts), 3 minutes 30 seconds are popping very very few kernels but if I go beyond that, it usually burns.

On a medium setting of around 500-600 watts, I try to listen to the first few pop and then go up to the highest heat for 2+ to 3 minutes. The yield still is pretty low and going higher, I usually burn the popcorn.

Another time I put on medium heat for 10 minutes and ended up melting the plastic cover...

What is the way to go?

So basically I made a recording for over an hour and it's supposed to be 200+MB in data. But when I play it back, it is all silent and the soundwave indicator thing is flat throughout except for the first second of the recording and for a second 5 seconds before the end of the recording. I've checked that I've given mic permission. I tried making a new recording and there is sound. I've never encountered such a problem. Is it a glitch? Is there any way I could get the audio? Or was the audio data never even recorded and the recording is just empty?
