When extracting audio from video files on a Windows 11 PC, several common errors can arise. Avoid unreliable or outdated tools that may produce poor audio quality or corrupt files. Use reputable software like V1C Media Player, Aud0city, or dedicated video-to-audio converters. Ensure the output format (MP3, WAV, AAC, etc.) is supported by your intended use or device. Be cautious when extracting audio from copyrighted videos; ensure you have the rights or proper permissions.

Don't leave default settings that may compress or degrade audio quality unnecessarily When extracting audio from video files. Make sure to select only the audio stream, not the entire video, during extraction. Keep a copy of the original video before extraction to prevent data loss if something goes wrong. And outdated software may have bugs or compatibility issues. Keep your tools updated.
