sorry for the muted video. it seems downloading the video from the redlib frontend yields no audio

original video

This is due to the way Reddit handles video. The video and the audio are two separate files that are combined by Reddit embedded media player. There are tools to combine them however I usually just go to the source to get the original instead or trying to pull it from Reddit.
