Answer
The answer is no. D.W. Griffith, an American film director and producer widely considered one of the pioneers of the medium, did not maintain sound in the majority of his films. In fact, almost all of his works, with the exception of three, were completely silent. This was primarily due to the infancy of sound technology in the early 20th century, when Griffith was at the peak of his career.
