Hi, I use FG for a long time, and a couple of weeks ago I'm having some issues downloading from youtube. Any video that I try from the site its downloading without the audio. I tried all formats (on video type) and still not working. I my videos don´t have sound. All my players on my computer shows the "audio icon" as it was blocked. I try to dowonload from others sites, and works with no problems, the issues occurs only on Youtube.

The Youtube listings contain two sets of files.
The first, are regular, & should contain both the audio & video in a single file.
The second, anything listed under "DASH [& it even says] (separate audio & video tracks)", are separate audio & video tracks.
So if you download a DASH video, that is what you have & nothing more.
If you want audio, you'd need to download that separately & then "mux" (join) them together (which you'd need a third party program to do).

For those who have a similar issue, here is what I did to resolve it.
I downloaded both the .mp4 and .m4a file of the same name using flashgot. Then I used ffmpeg.
Here is the command I used which merged the video and audio files perfectly: ffmpeg -i input_file.mp4 -i input_file.m4a -c copy -map 0:0 -map 1:0 out_file.mp4
Alternately, you could use flashgot to download the .flv file which has both video and audio.
