Morphology
The meaning 'the clarity/fidelity/standard of sound' is directly and transparently composed from 'audio' (sound) + 'quality' (standard), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the MWE meaning. This noun–noun/adj–noun combination is common and has clear equivalents in many languages (e.g. Spanish 'calidad de audio'), reinforcing its predictability.
Etymology
Audio quality joins audio (sound) and quality (how good something is). Imagine turning a radio knob until the music becomes clear, and that picture shows why it means 'how clear or good the sound is'.
