TrueAudio - YouTube Audio Language Controller

Automatically forces YouTube videos to play in your preferred audio language (Original/English). No more forced AI dubbing.

🚀 What is TrueAudio? YouTube's AI Dubbing feature automatically substitutes the original audio of foreign-language videos with a robotic dubbed track based on your browser's region — and makes it very difficult to turn off permanently. TrueAudio fixes this. It hooks directly into YouTube's internal player API and instantly forces every video to play in the language you choose, whether that's the original content language, English, Spanish, or any of the supported languages below. --- ⚙️ Features - Automatic Audio Switching: Forces YouTube to your preferred language on every video load. - Smart Original Track Detection: Intelligently identifies the original (non-dubbed) audio track using multiple heuristics, regardless of your account's region settings. - Persistent Preferences: Your language choice is saved and applied automatically — set it once and forget it. - Anti-Override Monitoring: Detects and reverses YouTube's attempts to re-apply dubbing after the page loads. - Lightweight: No network requests, no external scripts, no tracking. Runs entirely within YouTube's page. - Privacy First: Only requires the `storage` permission. Zero data collection. --- 🛠️ Installation From the Chrome Web Store *(recommended)* 1.
