YouTube Original Audio wót ccdev

Tired of YouTube forcing you into dubbed or auto-translated soundtracks? YouTube Original Audio is a lightweight, non-invasive Chrome extension that restores your viewing experience to what it should be: the creator’s authentic audio. As soon as you hit play, the extension:

- Auto-Detects New Videos: Watches for URL changes or new video loads and runs only once per video.

- Simulates Player Controls: Opens YouTube’s own settings menu, navigates to “Audio track,” and switches to the “Original” track if it exists.

- Minimizes Flicker: Temporarily hides the settings overlay with a quick CSS tweak so you won’t see every click.

- Runs Silently in the Background: No extra buttons, no permissions beyond YouTube page access, and no interference with playback outside of audio selection.


Why You’ll Love It

- Save Time: One less manual step every time you watch.

- Stay Authentic: Experience content exactly as the creator intended.

- Perfect for Multilingual Viewers: Instantly switch back to the original audio when subtitles aren’t enough.

- Privacy-Focused: Uses only simulated clicks on YouTube’s own UI—no data collection, no external services.


Limitations

- Works only on videos where YouTube provides an “Audio track” submenu and labels an option “Original.”

- May break if YouTube significantly changes its player markup.
