Step 1. To solve the no audio problem during conversion, firstly you need to ensure whether the source video file has sound in preview. You can preview it on your camcorder, or use some official plug-in from Cannon, Panasonic or Sony which are able to detect your video info, including audio tracks number as well as video.

Step 2. To output proper videos, you need to choose compatible video codec according to your needs. For instant, if you need to convert MXF to ProRes for FCP, you need to choose the FCP specified profile - Final Cut Pro > Apple ProRes 422 (*.mov).

Here are some compatible video codec for each usage of NLE on Mac:

Avid Media Composer > Avid DNxHD (*.mov)

Adobe Premiere Pro > MOV(AVC)(*.mov)

iMovie and Final Cut Express > Apple InterMediate Codec (*.mov)
