How to completely remove sound from the video on the Xiaomi phone: all working methods

Have you made a great video on your Xiaomi, but background noise spoils the whole impression? Or do you need to prepare a video for TikTok/Reels without sound? Removing the audio track from the video on Redmi, POCO or Black Shark smartphones is an easier task than it seems. In this article, you will find 7 proven ways, including built-in MIUI features, mobile applications and online tools.

It's important to understand that the process varies depending on the phone model and firmware version. For example, on the Xiaomi 13 Pro with MIUI 14, there is an integrated editor available, but on the budget Redmi 10A there is no one. We will look at solutions for all cases, from basic to advanced, taking into account the features of hardware acceleration on Snapdragon and Mediatek chips.

Before you start, check:

• 📱 Phone model (in Settings) → The phone)
• 🔄 Version MIUI (there)
• 🎬 Video format (MP4, MOV, MKV — It affects compatibility with editors)

For users who want to automate the process, FFmpeg, a powerful multimedia tool, can be used on Xiaomi via the Termux app.

1. Install Termux from the Play Market.
2. Enter the commands: pkg update && pkg upgrade pkg install ffmpeg ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v copy -an output.mp4 (where input.mp4 is your video, output.mp4 is the result without sound)
