It’s .vob files that have nothing in the audio tracks
If I add an .ac3 file, it works.
The problem is with video projects created in older versions of premiere, now on a DVD
When I import the from the DVD into element 2019, video is OK, audio tracks appear, but contain nothing – flat line

How did you get the video from the DVD? Did you put the DVD in your computer's drive and use Add Media/From DVD or Computer Drive to rip the files to your hard drive?

If not, try it and see if it makes a difference. Sometimes manually copying files from disc to computer using your operating system doesn't get all the necessary files.

Are you saying that no video or audio that you've added to the program play any sound?

Do you see an audio waveform on your audio file when you add it to your timeline?
