¿Esto suena natural? Can I use either OF or FROM?

2) Here’s a link with the audios FROM the meeting we had earlier.

1) Here’s a link with the audio OF the meeting we had earlier. = correct
2) Here’s a link with the audio FROM the meeting we had earlier. = correct and more natural
Unless you have 2 or more recordings, “audio” is singular.
—Here is a link with the audio from the meeting.
—Here are 2 links with the audios from the meeting and the PM’s speech.

Both make sense, but FROM sounds a little more natural.

Both sound perfectly natural to me, but as previously mentioned it should be audio, not audios.
To some extent It depends on the context.
If you had a meeting earlier and recorded the sound from the whole meeting then either word is acceptable.
However, if you had a meeting and in that meeting an audio file (e.g. a song, etc.) was played or referred to, then from would be more appropriate.

@ladybug Wouldn’t it still be just ‘audio’ even if there were multiple recordings?
If there was more than one recording then you would pluralise the format that is being used (e.g. audio files / audio disks etc.).

@KempS Your examples use “audio” as an adjective: audio files, audio disks, audio recordings. When talking about more than one, you would pluralise the noun.

I did a bit of research and confirmed that audio is definitely countable, however, in my experience I’ve only ever seen it treated as uncountable.
I’d personally write it as:
“please see audio files in link below”
or
“please find the audio files from our meeting in the link below”
etc.
But from a technical perspective so long as you are referring to multiple recordings then audios is also okay (it still sounds a bit weird to me but so do lots of other English words :D)

—Here is a link with the audio from the meeting. = All of the recordings, as a *whole*, used as UNCOUNTABLE.
—Here are 2 links with the audios from the meeting and the PM’s speech. = The focus is on multiple, individual files—the audios. This is not as common as the uncountable form.
