Q: Why can't I add an audio file to my Avidemux project? A: The "Avidemux cannot use that file as audio track" error can occur due to incompatible audio formats, corrupted files, or unsupported codecs.
ffmpeg -i "your_audio.flac" -acodec pcm_s16le -ar 48000 -ac 2 audio.wav
This is likely because VBR's fluctuating bitrate can confuse Avidemux's simple stream-copying mechanism, which expects a constant, predictable rate. Using CBR eliminates this variable.
of the external audio file and what Avidemux is prepared to mux into the video container Common Culprits Incompatible Containers:
If you delete all of your shared links, no one can see the content inside them anymore. If you delete a link, you'll still have access to the thread in your AI Mode history. Learn more Can't delete the links right now. Try again later. You don't have any shared links yet.
This limitation is a deliberate design choice and is not considered a bug. Adding support for container files would, as explained by Avidemux's development team, require a major rewrite of the application's core structure.
The error "Avidemux cannot use that file as audio track" is not a bug but a constraint of the software’s simplistic muxing engine. By converting the external audio to with a matching sample rate and zero start time, users can reliably add external tracks. For complex multi-track audio editing, a different tool (e.g., Shotcut, DaVinci Resolve, or FFmpeg command line) is recommended.
Specific formats, like Vorbis ( .ogg ), are only supported during active video re-encoding, not as simple external audio track injections. 💻 Step-by-Step Fixes to Resolve the Error Method 1: Convert to Raw Audio via Audacity
The "Cannot use that file as audio track" error in Avidemux is rarely fatal—it usually just means the audio format needs to be sanitized. By converting your audio files to CBR MP3 or WAV, you can resolve the issue quickly and continue editing your video.
Method 1: Convert the Audio File to standard uncompressed WAV or CBR MP3
If your file contains heavy metadata, album artwork, or unique tags (such as Traktor metadata or complex ID3v2 tags), Avidemux can become confused. The software misinterprets the metadata headers as corrupted MP3 frame headers, leading it to reject the file outright. 3. Unsupported Raw Formats

While Avidemux supports many formats, certain modern or proprietary versions of AAC or Opus can occasionally cause issues depending on your version of the software. Step-by-Step Solutions 1. Convert the Audio to a Standard Format
