FIX the bug of audio missing from export

When exporting a video sequence premiere randomly leaves out part of the audio. Those part were not muted, but in the same channel and of the same kind of other parts exported fine, not even cut: so for instance you have a talker that randomly get the voice silent.
This is a big reliability issue, because there is no correspondence of what you have on timeline and what you are going to have on final export. This happens on different machines and happened also with previous versions of Premiere different from this one at moment of writing 15.4.1 (build 4).
The only reliably working workaround has been export only the single audio channels in wave files and then import it back into the timeline, that is time consuming and unacceptable for a professional software.
Correct answer KinoKast

23.5 fixed it for me... but after months of frustration, nearly doubling my workload.

I have this problem right now on a very short (15 sec) project consisting of simply a few stills with transitions and one audio track. I'm running Premier 22.5.0 on Mac Studio with OS 12.3. If I import the MP4 back into Premier, it plays fine, but it will not play audio in Quicktime, nor will it play audio if uploaded to Vimeo. In each case, It only plays the first second or two of audio. I tried to upload the various files but they wouldn't upload.

I cant share my files as theres like 50+ gigs for a 3 hours render. The audio for my most recent render cuts out at exactly 1min-2min. There's no different settings or anything fancy. Just one audio track with some nature sounds.

I am having the same issue. Sometimes it will work if I add 0.1db to the audio. But I'll render it another time with the exact same setting and I'll lose audio after 1 second. It seems to be a random bug that appears for no logical reason. This is extremely frustrating because some of my exports are 3 hours and it takes 90 mins to render and about 10% come out with proper audio.

I wasted so many hours trying to fix this.
I had to do the audio only export and import the whole track back to the project.
Btw. I'm running version 22.5.0

Here I am, it does export, and I can watch it on my computer... when I send the video on my phone you can't hear audio 1. It's SO FRUSTRATING

@2085257 strange, it worked for me. Have you tried exporting to as a different file type, for example, Apple Pro Res? The only way you are going to get traction here is if the team can replicate the issue. The only way Adobe can replicate the issue is if you share your media files, project, export settings.

Have you also tried software and hardware encoding?

I would also suggest you share your hardware and driver versions.

The issue is resolved when changing the export from VBR to CBR.

I was working with 2 clips and when I put 30ch EQ effect on the export sound stopped on one of the clips. Took it effect off and it worked. NEEDS TO BE FIXED!
