An error with youtube-dl

rated 0 times [ 11] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 8465 / 3 Years ago, sun, june 6, 2021, 3:21:25

When I run youtube-dl and extract the audio it gives me the error:

ERROR: audio conversion failed: Unknown encoder 'libmp3lame'

Could this be because I have ffmpeg and lame installed? Do the two conflict with eachother somehow?
