From the Online Etymology Dictionary:

audio

"sound, especially recorded or transmitted," 1934, abstracted from prefix audio- (in audio-frequency, 1919, etc.), from L. audire "hear" (see audience). First used in Eng. as a prefix 1913; audiophile first attested 1951.

It comes from the Latin word "audit" which means to hear.
