Which options are you looking for that aren't already in the toolbar?

Like, for example if we selected an audio file, then the explorer will dynamically shows an audio tools menu highlighted in a different color in the Ribbon UI. This menu will disappear as soon as we deselected the file. Such options are absent in Files app. Also it is more convenient to managing files from icons in the Ribbon UI rather than pulling and selecting an option from a menu

Can you send screenshot of the audio tab?

I believe this is a reference of the menu bar. Windows 11 has removed it (unless you edit the registry to reappear) so it should be a windows 10 issue.

Here is the normal ribbon menu ☝

This is the music tools menu generated when selected an audio file (shows picture tools menu if we selected an image file)

That's quite a waste of real estate for two options (the first one isn't necessary since you can already double click a file to play it).
