Where do I find unsaved Quicktime audio recordings?

Quicktime Player closed unexpectedly while making an audio recording. I am usually able to find unsaved screen and movie recordings here: ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX/Data/Library/Autosave Information/

However audio recordings are not here. Where are they?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 15.0

you can try and look in "~/Library/ScreenRecordings/" (without the quotation marks)

if not there, they may be gone for good. sorry.

Found a very old unsaved screen recording there, but not the audio file.

ok. well if it is not in the location you first looked in, and it is not in the location I suggested, then sorry, but it may be gone for good.
