Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

It shows that 1080p quality video has video only, although, for example, I can download the same video with 4K video downloader Windows app at 1080p quality and it has both video and audio streams. 1920x1080 50fps has size 1,8 GB, 25fps has size 1,3 GB.

There is no 1080p as single file with audio and video exists. 1080p is obtained by separately downloading video and audio and muxing them. 4k or whatever other downloader work the same way.
