You can change the audio track but you have to do it on every video. What's more annoying is it can't even decide on a language. I've had both Spanish videos auto dubbed to English and English videos auto dubbed to Spanish.
You cannot select the audio track when watching from mobile browsers, so you are stuck with what you were served.
No, I won't open the native app.
If you don't want to go through the revanced route, you can install another front end like newpipe (assuming you're using an android device).
I'm using ReVanced extended and I'm still encountering this autodubbing mess. I watch videos in English, Spanish, German and Dutch , and I hate being forced to listen to a trerrible AI voice butchering the whole video. Is there a setting that I have to adjust?
Oh nice, I can help :P
There is a fairly well hidden setting
You can go to Settings > revanced settings (top one) > player > flyout menu > hide audio track
It was greyed out for me, I had to first change Settings > revanced settings (top one) > miscellaneous > spoof video streams > default client > iOS TV
~~Don't worry, I'm not seeing the option in the native app either. Gross.~~
Settings (gear icon) → Audio Track → (whatever) original
Thank you for setting me straight on this.
There's a browser addon that lets you disable auto translation.
Oh and it fixes the titles too, very nice
Doesn't seem to work on Firefox on Android. Do I need a YouTube API key?
