Audio doesn't sound the least natural. Just as unnatural as those in the HIgh Valyrian course.

The selections were ego, tu, and is. I tried ego but it was rejected. Isn't each of them correct?

Did the pronoun match with the verb ending?
ego domi dormio -> First person singular
tu domi dormis -> Second person singular
is domi dormit -> Third person singular
May I ask: How would you write: "I sleep at home" or "You sleep at home". Thank you!

"I sleep at home" -> (Ego) domi dormio
"You (singular) sleep at home" -> (Tu) domi dormis
"You (plural) sleep at home" -> (Vos) domi dormitis
The pronouns (ego, tu, vos) are not required but shown to reflect the Duo sentence that has is.

The form domi here is the locative case (which not all nouns use) and implies the in (so we don't add one).
Since many other nouns cannot use the locative they have to use the in + ablative. We have to add the in because the ablative has more uses than just for specifying location.
Not gonna lie, i heard est, not is. I think that the mic should be a bit better.
Sorry about that Korean only comment, This is for Korean users who learn Latin

- Vos domi dormitis

Is domi dormit

dormio - dormis - dormitis - dormit
- domi - home 집, dome : 돔, 돔과 더 가까워 보입니다
Little confused, why can't I put Tu here? Is there a difference in how they are worded?
"dormit" is the 3rd person singular conjugation, 2nd person singular would be "dormis".
Just asking, is the 'is' really necessary in this sentence? Wouldn't it still mean 'he sleeps at home' if it was 'domi dormit'? Or is the 'is' just to show that the -t on the dormit means he, as opposed to she/it?

It is as you say.
Without the is could work but it could also mean 'she/it sleeps at home' (depending on the context). With the is it can only mean 'he sleeps at home'.
One thing, how am I supposed to know that it meant to say Is instead of Tu? (It was a fill in the blank multichoice question.)

The ending of the verb.
Dormit tells us it is a third person singular subject, so is could work.
Dormis tells us the subject is second person singular so is doesn't work but tu does.

It can mean both. If you are talking about a person, then it would be he. If it is used with a masculine noun, then it would likely be translated as it.
