Saw this video on another platform and I thought let me go to YouTube so I can share it, only to hear AI voices. I'm like WTF? I investigate and find out that it's auto dubbed and that there's no option to disable it. Huh?

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.
