When selecting the outpout formats, what are the choices for the audio codec?

You're using LL 3.8, so I don't know if it would be possible to install a newer version there. You could try the appimage though, which is up to date and works in xenial. https://github.com/cmatomic/Handbrake-AppImage/releases or try an alternative https://alternativeto.net/software/handbrake/?platform=linux there's also this which I use and works fine https://jeanslack.github.io/Videomass/about.html

hope this helps! :)
