Description
Using Android 8.0.0 with the latest RedReader update, and upon playing any video on reddit I find that there is no sound whatsoever, even though the video itself does have sound on the website.
I've found this to be a long-standing issue, but I am wondering if I am doing something wrong seeing how it hasn't been reported yet from what I can see.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the missing audio with a v.redd.it video on Android 8.0.0, then trace the app's video playback and audio handling. Done means supported v.redd.it videos play their available sound in RedReader; the payload names no source file or test to target.
