I had the same issue-

Here’s how I fixed it-

Go to OPTIONS/PREFERENCES/AUDIO DEVICE

Change to WIndows Classic Wave Mapper– or another audio device than the one that didn’t work

Make sure you check INCLUDE AUDIO in Custom Template before rendering (scroll down)

I had the same problem. It is really annoying, with every update comes more problems from increased complexity. Pain in the butt.

Anyway- here’s the fix that I found:

Go into PREFERENCES under OPTIONS

Go to AUDIO DEVICE

I changed to WINDOWS CLASSIC WAVE DRIVER—

That gave me my audio in the render.

Make sure when you render that you scroll down to CUSTOM TEMPLATE, open the AUDIO tab, and check mark
INCLUDE AUDIO.

That worked for me. The initial Audio Device would not work, including my Creative Sound Blaster 24bit card. I don’t know why, because it’s always worked before.
