also could you enable debug features and copy your settings from the debug page?

{"schemaVersion":2,"appearance":{"theme":"auto","reduceTransparency":false,"reduceMotion":false,"autoLanguage":false},"privacy":{"disableAnalytics":false,"alwaysProxy":true},"save":{"youtubeVideoCodec":"h264","videoQuality":"1080","audioFormat":"mp3","downloadMode":"auto","filenameStyle":"classic","savingMethod":"download"},"processing":{"enableCustomInstances":false},"advanced":{"debug":true}}

Hey, I have the same problem and found a temporary solution. Add "audioFormat": "best" to the body since "audioFormat": "mp3" (default value) is returning an empty file.
