Reddit often mutes audio by default. Check the speaker icon in the lower-right corner of the video to see if it's muted. Some subreddits disable sound for uploaded videos.

Some subreddits do not allow audio on uploaded videos. Reddit also mutes audio by default. Check the speaker icon in the lower-right corner of the video to see if the sound is muted. If it's grey, the video has no sound. It ware removed when uploaded to the subreddit

You can't send a video in a Reddit chat. You can only send images and GIFs. You can only post links to videos from other sites.

Then you'll need to upload the video to YouTube or another platform and post the link.

Go to the section where you edit your subreddit and check the option to allow videos and images. Private and NSFW subreddits cannot host images or videos.

The subreddit has to change its settings to allow video uploads with sound. Contact a moderator and see if they are willing to change the subreddit settings.
