Muted videos on Reddit can be frustrating, especially if you are trying to watch a video or listen to an audio clip. This article will guide you on how to fix the no-sound problem on Reddit for both iPhone and Android devices. We aim to provide you with a quick and easy solution so that you can enjoy your Reddit browsing experience without any interruptions. Whether you are a technology enthusiast, gamer, or someone who loves troubleshooting, this article is for you. So, let's get started!

Mute & Unmute Reddit Videos

By default, videos on Reddit are muted, and you have to toggle the sound button manually if it’s available. Many videos don’t come with sound, but in some cases, even videos with sound will be muted on your mobile device.

Disable the Quiet Mode Option

To fix this, open the Reddit app and navigate to your settings. In your advanced settings, ensure that the Quiet audio mode option is disabled.

Close Music Player

If this is the case, and the issue persists, then make sure your music player is not running in the background. This is usually your Spotify or Music app, preventing audio from loading while using Reddit. To fix this problem, re-open your music app after that Reddit has been opened on your device.

Disable iPhone or Android Silent Mode

Disable silent mode, as some devices, such as headphones, don’t stream audio from Reddit when silent mode is enabled.

NSFW Content

For not safe-for-work (NSFW) content, in some cases, the Reddit app is unable to read the sound channel of the site where those videos are hosted. You must tap through to that site to hear the corresponding audio.

Clear App Cache

In case nothing helped you out, then you should delete the Reddit mobile app cache. Open up your settings application. On Android devices, go to your apps list and tap on Reddit to delete the cache. On your iOS device, navigate to General and select iPhone Storage.

iPhone Settings > General > iPhone Storage

It might take a couple of seconds for all of your storage information to load, and when this is done, look up Reddit. Tap on Offload App. This will delete all files saved by the app on your device locally and can fix audio-related problems when using Reddit the next time.

Test Network Connection

If you’re using an unreliable network connection, then this could be the last culprit of your sound problem. Reddit will serve audio and video in separate tracks. The application is unable to download a stream containing both tracks or your connection might not be good enough to do so, and this will cause videos to play without sound.

Ensure a reliable network connection to listen to audio on Reddit

There can be multiple reasons why you are not getting any sound on Reddit, such as low volume settings, muted device, or a glitch in the Reddit app.
