Resolve PB 17 introduces options/issues with rendering audio.
Take a look at the Audio tab and pay close attention to the option "Output Track 1". In theory, you should be able to choose "All audio tracks" and this would merge/bus the audio together, but how? Mono? Stereo?
I found choosing this option rendered audio I could hear on my computer, but not after uploading to youtube. On youtube: no audio. Why?
I often have audio track 1 muted, as it's synchronous sound of a video clip, and use other audio track for VO or ADR. I thought this may be root of MY issue.
I decided to manually bus together all audio tracks under Fairlight (excluding the muted track). Under Fairlight, choose Bus Format, add a submix, select the non-muted audio tracks, assign to the Main, and the muted to Submix, then in Render Tab choose that Main as the "Output Track 1".
Another work around: Render all audio (no video) to a .mp4 or .mov *(without video) duplicate the timeline, import the single audio track, delete all audio off the new duplicated timeline, drop in the single audio track, (make sure it's not muted), render video with only one audio track.
(FYI rendering Audio as .wav "single file" outputs individual tracks, so wouldn't work as a workaround for this issue)
This isn't a perfect solution, especially if you WANT more audio tracks than just stereo.
