How to Stop Auto Dub on YouTube

Updated on:

Use this interactive demo to learn how to switch off auto dub and restore the original audio on YouTube.

Quick summary

YouTube's auto dub feature can automatically play videos in a dubbed language instead of the original audio track. You can stop this in seconds by opening the Settings menu inside the video player and switching the audio track back to the original language.


Steps

  1. Open a YouTube video that is currently playing in a dubbed language on youtube.com.
  2. Click the Settings gear icon located at the bottom right of the video player.
  3. Click Audio track in the settings menu to expand the available language options.
  4. Select the original language track from the list — it is typically labeled with the language name or marked as Original.
  5. The video immediately switches to the original audio track. If the Audio track option does not appear, the video only has one available language track.

📌 Why this matters

YouTube's auto dub feature automatically replaces original audio with a dubbed version, which can frustrate viewers who prefer hearing content in its native language. Knowing how to disable auto dub and manually select the original audio track gives viewers full control over their playback experience. This is especially important for language learners, content researchers, and anyone who values authentic, unaltered audio. Switching back to the original track takes fewer than four clicks directly inside the YouTube video player settings.
