 * It’s the default behaviour for the Header Video, that is a WordPress built-in
   functionality.
    Video headers are considered decorative elements — like header
   images, but with motion. With that in mind, they play automatically, loop by 
   default, and don’t have sound. They work best when paired with an image, so they
   can progressively enhance the experience when video is supported. There isn’t
   an easy way to turn sound on, due to the limitations of the Core code related
   to video headers. For this reason, I’d suggest you put any video where spoken
   words are important into the body of a page or post instead.
