I am having this issue as well, but was able to track down the recorded audio and import it into FCP

MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2021

Apple M1 Max chip

MacOS Sequoia 15.4.1

Final Cut Pro Version 11.1.1


Steps:

  1. Record Voiceover as you usually would, and it will display a track recording in the timeline. That track will disappear when you click stop.
  2. Navigate in Finder to where the Final Cut Library is set to store media
  3. In the Final Cut Original Media folder you should find an alias to your recording in a folder with today's date.
  4. Right-click this file and choose "Show Original"
  5. The original audio will be stored in /Users/{username}/Library/Containers/com.apple.FinalCut/Data/tmp/TemporaryItems/NSIRD_Final Cut Pro_{unique_identifier}
  6. Copy this file to a desired storage location and import it into your project.
  7. To clean things up, you could also delete the alias and TemporaryItems files after you have a working version of the file imported to FCP
