Check with the owners of the music or the site that has the music posted. They should all have licenses or contact info. If they don't, find who made the music, otherwise don't risk it. That's my experience.

Unless you have proof or permission to use the music, yes. You still run the risk of strikes.

Adding links or credit to the descriptions means absolutely nothing when it comes to copyright, and strikes on YouTube.

I've been using music in videos and I'm still strike free. It all depends on where you get the music and their terms and conditions. You could of course use Youtube's Creation Tools to get free music.
