Step-by-step guide
Check the post itself has sound
X autoplays videos muted. Tap the speaker icon on the post: if you hear nothing there, the original has no audio track to download.
Paste the link and pick a video quality
Paste the link above and download any of the qualities listed for the video. Each one is a complete MP4 with the audio track already combined.
Play it in a full media player
Open the file in VLC, QuickTime, Media Player or your phone’s video player — not a thumbnail preview, which is often muted — and check the volume.
Confirm the audio track if in doubt
In VLC, open Tools › Codec Information (Window › Media Information on Mac): a working file lists a second stream with codec MPEG AAC Audio.
Why this is tricky
A silent download is one of the most common complaints about Twitter video tools. X streams picture and sound as separate tracks, and tools that grab only the video track save a mute file. The MP4 versions X stores have the AAC audio built in, so saving one of those keeps the sound.
Frequently asked questions
Usually because the tool saved only the video track of X’s stream, where sound is delivered separately. Other causes: the original post is silent, or the player you used starts muted. Our downloads are the MP4 versions with audio included.
X converts uploaded GIFs into short looping MP4 videos without an audio track. The download is the same MP4, so it is silent by design — there is no sound to recover.
The picture changes much more than the sound between qualities. Every option carries the AAC audio track, so choosing SD to save space still gives you the audio.
Check the volume buttons and the Ring/Silent setting, and make sure no Bluetooth headphones are connected. If Photos still shows a muted speaker icon on the video, tap it to unmute playback.
We deliver the full MP4. To keep just the sound, export the audio in VLC (Media › Convert / Save) or run ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -vn -c:a copy audio.m4a, which copies the AAC track without re-encoding.
