Why Your Bluesky Download Has No Sound (And How to Fix It)
Some tools return MP4 files with no audio because they only grab the video stream. Bluesky often splits video and audio into separate tracks (HLS). If the downloader skips the audio track, the final file is silent.
How BlueVideoSaver fixes it
- Detects when audio and video are separate.
- Downloads both streams when available.
- Merges them into a single MP4 so you keep the soundtrack.
When there still might be no sound
- The original post has no audio track or was uploaded muted.
- A network hiccup caused a partial download; try again on Wi‑Fi.
- On iPhone, check the mute switch or system volume if playback is muted.

Frequently asked questions
- Why does my Bluesky download have no audio?
- Many downloaders only grab the video track. Bluesky often separates audio and video, so ignoring the audio stream produces a silent MP4.
- Does BlueVideoSaver merge audio and video streams?
- Yes. It detects when audio is separate and merges it with the video into a single MP4 whenever audio is available.
- What if the original Bluesky video is silent?
- If the creator uploaded a silent clip, the final download will also be silent even after merging.
- Can low volume be a device issue?
- Yes. Check your phone’s mute switch, media volume, or Bluetooth outputs before re-downloading.
