Have you tried switching the audio codec? go to options > advanced > Show available codecs to download Then select any audio codec.

I have tried every codec and none work

I am also having this problem

Weird, are you having no audio while editing in a video editor perhaps? Or is it by using a media player like VLC?

Same issue here, MacOS 12.4, when output set to MP4 (needed so I don't need to re-encode an MKV with handbrake) downloads no longer have audio in Quicktime/Final Cut Pro.

Tried with a few links, same issue. Downloading audio only works.

Edit: Tried this on a duplicate machine with IINA and Elmedia Player installed. The videos downloaded DO have audio, it's just no longer in a format being recognised as compatible for native Mac apps e.g Final Cut Pro or Quicktime Player, which states: 'This file contains some media that isn’t compatible with QuickTime Player'. IINA and Elmedia Player play the same files with working audio.

Is there any way to force a specific audio codec to be used during the download/conversion for a combined video+audio download as that would perhaps be a way around this?

It looks like this may be related to these issues which apparently are resolved for a future release? https://github.com/jely2002/youtube-dl-gui/pull/265#issue-1087207012 https://github.com/jely2002/youtube-dl-gui/issues/258#issuecomment-999880410

When I manually choose M4A audio instead of OPUS audio works fine in FCP and Quicktime as per the workaround in the above comment.
