Reddit allows you to upload videos on the app if the community allows it.
To do so, tap on the “+” icon, tap on “Video”, and select the video that you want to upload.
You can watch a video that someone else uploaded by expanding it.
By default, sounds on the Reddit app will be turned off.
If the video has sound, you can tap on the speaker icon to turn it on.
If the video doesn’t have sound, you’ll get the “This video doesn’t have sound” error.
However, that doesn’t mean that the video doesn’t have sound.
If you’re watching a video in an NSFW community, it will be automatically muted.
However, there is a way where you can unmute it.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to get sound on the Reddit app (for Android/iOS) and why does Reddit say “This video doesn’t have sound”.

How to get sound on the Reddit app
To get sound on the Reddit app, you need to first enable adult content on the desktop version of Reddit.
After you’ve enabled adult content, download the Apollo app, sign in with Reddit, and navigate to the video that you want to listen to.
Lastly, expand the video and tap on the speaker icon to turn on the sound for the video!
The Reddit app mutes videos in NSFW communities.
Hence, even if you tap on the speaker icon, you won’t be able to hear anything.
You can bypass this by downloading the Apollo app.
The Apollo app is a Reddit app with fast navigation and a ton of features.
You can browser Reddit easily with the jump bar, fully customizable gestures, and a super-charged media viewer.
In addition, you can also turn on sound for videos in NSFW communities.
Here’s how to get sound on the Reddit app:
1. Enable adult content on the desktop version of Reddit
The first step is to enable adult content on the desktop version of Reddit.
That way, you’ll be able to view any community and media on the Reddit app.
Firstly, go to www.reddit.com on a browser like Safari or Chrome.
Once you’re there, tap on the menu icon, tap on “Sign Up or Log In”, and log in to your Reddit account.
After you’ve logged in, tap on the menu icon again, tap on “Settings”, and tap on “Account settings”.
Lastly, tap on “Feed Settings” and enable “Adult content”.
This will allow you to view NSFW communities on Reddit.
2. Download Apollo for Reddit
The Reddit app mutes the audio for videos in NSFW communities.
There is nothing you can do in the Reddit app to unmute the audio.
A way to bypass this is to download the Apollo app.
Unfortunately, the app is only available on the App Store for iOS devices.
If you’re using an Android device, you can download the Sync app on the Google Play Store instead.
The Apollo app is a Reddit viewer with a ton of features.
This includes a native iOS design, customizable gestures, fast-loading pages, and more.
You can also unmute videos in NSFW communities or videos that are muted on the Reddit app.
3. Sign in with Reddit
After you’ve downloaded the Apollo app, open it.
Now, you need to sign in with Reddit.
To do so, tap on “Account” on the bottom navigation bar and tap on “Sign in with Reddit”.
This will open the login page of Reddit where you’ll have to enter your username and password.
Lastly, you need to allow Apollo to connect to your Reddit account.
To do so, scroll down to the bottom of the page and tap on “Allow”.
4. Navigate to the video that you want to listen to
After you’ve allowed Apollo to connect to your Reddit account, you’ll now be logged in.
Now, you need to navigate to the video that you want to listen to.
Let’s say that you want to turn on the sound for a video in an NSFW community.
To do so, navigate to the community and locate the video.
Once you’ve found the video, tap on it to expand it.
Lastly, tap on the speaker icon (if needed) to unmute the video.
The Apollo app will play the video along with its audio even if it’s NSFW.
You’ve successfully learned how to get or turn on sound on Reddit!

Reddit says that the video doesn’t have sound because the video is muted.
By default, a video on the Reddit app will be muted if it contains adult content.
Even if the original video has sound, Reddit will mute it automatically if it’s marked as “NSFW”.
To bypass this, you can download the Apollo app on the App Store or the Sync app on the Google Play Store.
These apps allow you to hear the audio for any video on Reddit (including NSFW content).
Why is Reddit sound not working?
Reddit sound is not working because the video contains adult content.
Reddit will automatically mute any NSFW videos.

You can try turning on the sound by tapping on the speaker icon.
If that doesn’t work, you need to download the Apollo app on the App Store or the Sync app on the Google Play Store.
