Hello,
1. Try to temporarily deactivate all your plugins and see if it helps.
2. That’s default behavior, I don’t think that it can be changed easily.
Kind Regards, Roman.

Thanks for the reply, just wondering if you are part of this plugin authors team?
1. Deactivating all plugins did not resolve the issue.
2. I am fairly certain there is a way to change this, the default behavior should not be mute really…

Update on #2, I followed the instructions here: https://forums.athemes.com/t/no-sound-in-video-youtube-link-for-header/22730/6
But still have no sound. Please advise
Hello, yes, I do Astrid customer support.
1. I was able to recreate this issue on my local Astrid install, so it seems to be a theme issue, I have already reported it. Thank you for pointing it out.
2. As I said, that’s default behavior and it’s not a theme issue. The Video Header feature comes from WordPress itself. Please check this link to make sure that video is muted by default:
Video Headers in 4.7
Kind Regards, Roman.

1 – Thanks
2- I see, for anyone else looking to unmute the header video try this js (I recommend a mute button or showing controls if you do this)
function onYouTubeIframeAPIReady() {
var player;
player = new YT.Player(‘player’, {
width: 1280,
height: 720,
videoId: ‘wp-custom-header-video’,
events: {
‘onReady’: onPlayerReady,
‘onPlaybackQualityChange’: onPlayerPlaybackQualityChange,
‘onStateChange’: onPlayerStateChange,
‘onError’: onPlayerError
}
});
}
function onPlayerReady(event) {
event.target.setVolume(100);
event.target.playVideo();
}
