SEO guide
Fix silent video downloads — use Best quality, check Reddit v.redd.it splits, and verify host audio on PasteGrab.
Overview
Some hosts store video and audio in separate streams — Reddit v.redd.it is the classic case. Best quality merges streams when yt-dlp can find both.
If you only need audio, pick MP3 before preview. If video plays silent, re-download with Best quality rather than a video-only tier.
Verify your player is not muted and the source post actually has audio on the public page.

When only audio matters for your edit.
