Why do Reddit Videos not Have Sound? 

If you wonder why you can’t hear the audio of a video, there might be different reasons. Therefore, we’ll give you several different instructions depending on the device you use. 

First of all, if the video you want to watch is muted, you won’t get any sound while playing it.  

It’s also important to add that when you unmute a video, other videos on the very same page will be unmuted by default. Besides, If a video has adult content, it’s probably marked as NSFW. So, you won’t hear that video’s sound. But ultimately, you can easily unmute these videos and get their sound back.

How to Get Sound on Reddit Videos: 

If you’re having trouble playing the sound of some Reddit videos, there’s no need to worry. 

Although there might be different reasons that cause this problem, there is always a solution. By following these simple instructions, you can easily fix this issue. 

Try to unmute or mute videos on Reddit web. 

If a Reddit video is muted by default, it doesn’t mean that the video itself has no sound. Therefore, make sure that your volume setting is on. You can easily check this setting on Reddit web: 

• Find the video you want to watch. 
• At the right bottom of that specific post, you’ll see a cross mark next to the sound icon.  
• Lastly, click on that button to unmute the video.  

Or, you can check your Windows device’s volume settings.  

If you still don’t hear audio after these steps, ensure that your device’s volume settings are on. Depending on your computer, you can check your volume settings in two ways.  

To check your volume settings on Windows: 

• On the taskbar, select the volume icon to see if your PC is muted. 
• If you realize that your PC is muted, you can move the volume slider to the right side to get the audio back. 

If these steps aren’t helpful, we suggest checking whether the volume settings for web browsers have been turned off: 

• Go to Settings on your PC and click on System. 
• After clicking on System, proceed to Sound. 
• Then you can select Volume Mixer. 
• Now you can check if volume levels are high enough for your web browser. If it isn’t, move the volume slider to the right side to get the audio back. 

What should I do if I have a Mac PC? 

If you don’t have a Windows PC, there’s no need to worry. We can help you out with your Mac too. 

To check your volume settings on MacOS: 

• Go to the Control Center located in the top right corner of your menu bar. 
• Here, you can turn up the volume. 

If these two steps don’t work, then you can enable audio on Reddit Tab as well: 

• On Reddit web, find the post you want to listen to.  
• Then check the loudspeaker icon located in the top left corner. 
• Click on the loudspeaker icon to unmute/mute the tab. 

Maybe you can get help from third-party apps. 

If the instructions we mentioned earlier don’t work, the video may have adult content and it might be flagged as NSFW. Thus, that’s why you can’t hear the video. If that’s the case, you can benefit from a third-party app to enable their audio.

If you don’t find this method helpful, then you may need to check your Android’s volume settings:

Quiet mode is a setting for iOS devices that mutes all videos. Therefore, all Reddit videos will be muted by default if you keep this setting enabled. If you unmute a video, other videos on the very same page will be unmuted by default. However, this isn’t the case if you turned on Quiet Mode on your iOS device.
