Description

The captioned issue occurred with this post:

https://reddit.com/comments/1ghec7s

Which opened this in the external browser:

https://v.redd.it/ond0ve0zhcyd1/DASH_360.mp4?source=fallback

Another related issue is that I often have to view media, especially ones with large filesizes, in the external browser as they often load much faster and does not have to wait for it to be 100% loaded.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior with the linked Reddit post and the v.redd.it DASH_360.mp4 URL, then locate the code path used when a video post is opened in an external browser. Done should mean the external-browser video retains audio while preserving the faster media-loading use case described in the issue.
