What happens?:

The webm file has sound, but the mp4 file doesn't. It doesn't matter what browser or media player is used, or which quality is selected. The mp4 has no sound.

What should have happened instead?:

The mp4 should have sound.

Software version (on Special:Version page; skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):

Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):

As designed: these are bare video tracks, to be paired with the mp3 or Opus audio tracks in HLS or MPEG-DASH playback. They are not meant to be played standalone.

Ah thank you. I hadn't seen that mentioned.

Yeah, I should clean up the labeling so it's clearer. :D
