FFMPEG XStack Audio Cuts out After Shortest Video

I'm trying to combine 4 Video files from a CDN into a grid using FFMPEG and the xstack filter.

This is the command I'm running.

ffmpeg -y -i https://exampl.cdn.com/99d11c26-352d-4f29-ba83-38deeaf766d4.mp4 
-i https://exampl.cdn.com/99d11c26-352d-4f29-ba83-38deeaf766d4.mp4 
-i https://exampl.cdn.com/66581fbf-cfed-4de1-a634-f011b6792e9f.mp4 
-i https://exampl.cdn.com/a8f0d337-98cb-4067-b3e9-78dca8a82bcf.mp4
-filter_complex 
"xstack=inputs=4:layout=0_0|w0_0|0_h0|w0_h0[out];[0:a][1:a][2:a][3:a]amerge=inputs=4[a]"
-map "[out]"
-map "[a]"
-ac 2
output.mp4

The video generates just fine and the audio plays back, but the audio cuts out after the shortest video ends. The videos keep playing though. The videos are generated by end-users via the HTML video object and uploaded to S3.

Figured it out. I had to use the amix filter.

This is the final command I ended up with.

ffmpeg -y -i vid1.mp4 -i vid-2.mp4 -i vid-3.mp4 -i vid-4.mp4 -filter_complex "xstack=inputs=4:layout=0_0|w0_0|0_h0|w0_h0;amix=inputs=4" output.mp4
