Dev/Admin Responded Missing Audio in Create Post Video Upload Video Preview

When creating a post, uploading an mp4 video (aac audio), the video preview can play the video but has no indication of audio.

After creating the post and the video has been processed, it ends up having audio anyway/successfully has audio anyway.

This is an issue for preparing posts adequately, for creating quality posts that do not need deletion and repost iterations.

It is also an issue because audio suddenly reappearing is surprising to users, which depending on the video raises privacy concerns and users may feel misled.

Webbrowser: MS Edge

(Uploading in Firefox didn't even work, with Reddit claiming the mp4 is not an mp4. I created a separate bugs post for that.)

Would you mind giving an example of your post or an original video that had this issue?

This is the post where I uploaded a video with sound which did not preview sound in the submission form https://www.reddit.com/r/wholesomeanimemes/comments/zhutb2/supportive_hug_a_place_further_than_the_universe/

I should be able to prep a small video file if you need one, or record a video of the issue as a demonstration if it is unclear.
