Liaison between the auxiliary and the past participle?
Is there no liaison in "nous aurions été déçus" between aurions and été? I didn't hear it in the recording.

I would say that, though I cannot see why the liaison here would be grammatically wrong, it does sound off to a French ear (such as mine), and people wouldn't pronounce it.
I guess it's probably because it sounds a bit redundant given the previous liaison between "nous" and "aurons".
Usually, we won't pronounce the liaison between the auxiliary and the past participle.
I hope that's helpful !

Why is 'préparé' instead of 'fait' not used here?
