Some time ago I saved an audio file to a note but I can’t seem to play it or extract the audio file it self.

In your storage provider, look under .resources folder. It might be there.

If you click on the file in Joplin it should open it in your default audio player. But if that audio player is not configured correctly, it might fail and not do anything.
