Description:
I have been editing a project in blender for 2 days, and all rendering was just rendering fine with audio. After the last full update, when i try to render anything the audio is muted(no audio stream).

I've tried to downgrade blender to confirm if the bug is in this current version, but the package has to many different package dependencies versions.

Additional info:
tested video with ffplay and mpv players
blender 17:2.92.0-5
no custom config file
audio works normal on video sequencer preview
tried with most containers(mp4, mkv, avi)
tried with most video/audio codecs(mp4, matroska, avi/mp3, vorbis, opus)

Steps to reproduce:

- Open Video Sequencer
- Add any video and audio strip
- In "Output Properties" Menu, select file format: FFmpeg Video, Video Codec: H.264 and Audio Codec: mp3
- Render > Render animation

Expected Result:
Video file with audio

Result:
Video file with sound muted

Downloaded blender 2.92.0 from blender.org and rendering with audio it's just working fine

Pretty sure this is due to our usage of a very recent ffmpeg as compared to the official blender builds. We can't really do much here except hope for upstream to eventually fix this. Could you report an upstream bug? We really don't do any fancy stuff at all in our package: https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/blob/packages/blender/trunk/PKGBUILD

As you can see, I even compile it using the official release cmake configuration. The difference therefore must be in the libraries we use and ffmpeg is the most likely candidate here.

I came here to report this exact bug. It is related to the newest ffmpeg 4.4 library.

As Yuri already said, blender 2.92 from blender.org works just fine. It's a bummer that we get broken packages on Arch now :(

This is such a core feature that it renders blender useless for video editing.

Please report the incompatibility with ffmpeg 4.4 to blender upstream and link the issue here. They are usually pretty quick at fixing such things.

I've been getting the same issue, audio exporting does not work. Blender just returns this error:
what(): File couldn't be written, audio encoding failed with ffmpeg.

FYI: the bug has been already reported here: https://developer.blender.org/T87932. For now we can use blender 2.92 until this issue fix

I found this piece of info in the devtalk: https://devtalk.blender.org/t/newest-ffmpeg-v4-4-is-having-issues-with-blender-2-92-animation-audio-is-not-rendered-with-video/18663/2
Trying to cook up a patch and will post here.
sha512sum: be26d2edf9c9aaf4c99f4f0a3f3c4a05296170b86b5abd7b7c3c2d900f868ebe113d5b49fbf413fb717b9ec5f36becf880c8479388616d1b34f296da24faea63

# put this below the other patch line for openEXR
patch -p1 < "$srcdir"/blender-ffmpeg4_4.patch # Fix build with FFmpeg 4.4

it's building at the moment which will take time. I'll report back.

I can confirm above patch works to have audio exported with video and I think that makes it worthwhile (meaning to build a -06 release). However, that does NOT fix all ffmpeg integration within blender. Video proxy-file generation, for example, is still buggered.

I pushed -6 with the posted patch, could someone test it out?
Comment by Tobias Kieslich (neri) - Saturday, 15 May 2021, 15:54 GMT
I'm camping till Monday. Will do when I'm back. Thank you for the update

Hi Sven,

Thank you for the update. I can confirm it renders out audio with the video. So I'd say this bug report is ready to be closed.
