If I want to just rip the audio track only, what do I have to do? cuz it rips as a mkv file.

Use something else. MakeMKV does exactly that... It makes MKV files!

Try ffmpeg or eac3to.

When I’ve wanted to save audio only I’ve ripped with makemkv and then pushed the mkv through mkvtoolnix to drop the video and split by all chapters, creating a set of mka files. I’ve then processed these downstream using gMKVExtractGUI to convert to wav, then converted to FLAC. Might be an easier method, but this works for me.
