Threads app 'no sound or audio' on uploaded videos? Try this workaround

Meta, the parent company of popular social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram, has recently unveiled a new platform called Threads which aims to compete with Twitter.

Based on Instagram’s account system, it provides users with various features, including the ability to share text updates, post links, reply to messages, report content, and participate in public conversations.

However, it has already faced issues like crashing when trying to upload images on iPhone. Also, some users are requesting chronological order for posts in their home feed.

Now, another issue has popped up where Threads app users say that there is ‘no sound or audio’ on uploaded videos (1,2,3,4,5,6).

The problem seems to arise after the video drafting process, during which the videos play flawlessly with sound. However, upon uploading, the audio or sound mysteriously disappears.

Given the popularity of video-based content across social media platforms, it is understandable that users are eager to find a solution to this problem.

For individuals who want to share engaging and informative content, the absence of audio can significantly diminish the impact of their videos.

This issue has become a topic of concern and has prompted users to seek solutions to restore audio functionality to their videos.

I keep trying to upload videos and the sound is working in draft, but then after I post, there is no sound on the video. Anyone know what’s up?

Does anyone else have issues with sound on videos? They all are on silent and I can’t see an option to turn it on or off?

Fortunately, there is a workaround that has been discovered by Threads users experiencing the audio issue.

By simply unmuting the video draft before uploading it to the platform, users have successfully restored sound to their videos. Here’s a video to demonstrate how.

This workaround may seem straightforward, but it has proven to be effective in addressing the audio problem on Threads.
