Can I Change Audio Language on IPTV? (Multi-Audio)
You are watching a
movie, but it is dubbed in French and you want the original English audio. Or maybe you are watching a Champions
League match and you prefer the Spanish commentary. Changing the audio track is a standard feature on DVDs and
Netflix. But on IPTV, it can be a bit hidden. In this guide, we will explain how to find and switch audio tracks
on your favorite IPTV apps. For a service with multi-language support, check out IPTV
Smarters PRO.
Listen in your language.
Does the Channel
Support It?
This is the first thing
to check. You can’t switch to Spanish if the provider is only sending the English audio feed.
Most live TV channels
only have one audio track. However, premium movie channels (like HBO or Sky Cinema) and VOD movies often contain
multiple audio tracks embedded in the stream.
Look for
“Multi-Audio”
Some providers label their channels. If you see “FHD
Multi-Audio” in the channel name, it means you can switch languages.
How to Switch on
Fire Stick / Android
The process is similar
on most apps (Smarters, TiviMate, XCIPTV):
- While the video is playing, press the Select or OK
button on your remote. - Look for an icon that looks like a Speaker or says
Audio. - Click it to see a list of available tracks (e.g., “Track 1: English”, “Track 2:
French”). - Select the one you want.
Simple switching.
Using External
Players
If your default player
doesn’t show the audio options, try switching to an external player like VLC.
VLC is excellent at
detecting hidden audio tracks that other players miss. Just click the “Speech Bubble” icon in VLC and select
“Audio Track”.
VLC finds what others miss.
Why Is the Audio
Out of Sync?
Sometimes, when you
switch tracks, the audio might not match the lip movements.
This is a common
glitch. To fix it, try pausing the stream for 5 seconds and then playing it again. This forces the player to
re-sync the audio and video. If that fails, look for an “Audio Delay” setting in your player.
Sync it up.
Conclusion
Changing the audio
language is a great feature, especially for movies and international sports. While not every channel supports
it, most VOD content does. Use a good player, check the audio settings, and enjoy the show in your native
tongue. For the best multi-language experience, we recommend Smarters Pro.
A world of choice.
