You can use the -U/--use-write Option and see if that helps.

Did you check the mixer settings when you play back the file ?
It could be that environment Variable  LAV_AUDIO_DEV is set wrong.

Can you run lavinfo filename.avi and post at least the audio related 
info, it should look like that:
has_audio=1
audio_bps=4
audio_chans=2
audio_bits=16
audio_rate=44100
