Very often there is a need to change the voice language, for example, for the purpose of studying foreign language. This article will discuss how to change the audio track in KMPlayer.

Some players may completely refuse to play the track you want if there is more than one of them in the film. KMPlayer is a completely different matter. It perfectly perceives and plays all available audio streams, has the entire set of necessary codecs, is easy to manage and is absolutely free.

Types of audio tracks
There are two types of sound or audio track - built-in and external. The first is a more convenient option, because all the voiceovers available in the video are “hardwired” into one file and switch faster. The second one makes it more convenient to distribute the translation among users, although different files require synchronization of video and audio, and the connection is not much slower.
Adding an external audio track
Launch the desired video file and pause it. Right-click on active window KMPlayer → “Open” → “Load external audio track.” Next, you need to find (usually located in the folder with the movie itself) and select the audio file that we want to connect as an audio track, then click “Open”. After completing this procedure, two options are possible: either the external track will connect itself and become active, or it should appear in one of the lists of the “Filters” item (it will become available after right-clicking in the active KMPlayer window) and you will need to select it there.
How to change the built-in audio track
The built-in audio track can be changed in the “Filters” item (it will become available after right-clicking in the active KMPlayer window). Below are two options, depending on the default splitter. If Matroska is active, then you should look for a list called “KMP Matroska Reader”; if LAV Splitter, we look for an item with the appropriate name, there will be a list of available audio tracks with the ability to select the option you need.
Russian audio tracks by default
In the latest versions of KMPlayer, there is a hard-coded rule in the settings that gives priority to voice-overs in English. As a result, you have to switch tracks yourself every time. This rule can and should be changed. To do this, go to the player settings using the hotkey F2. In the vertical block on the left we find the item “Subtitle Processing” and select the subitem “Languages/Speech”. Next, we edit the line “Preferred subtitle language”, in the end there should be two words rus ru. In other words, we have made sure that audio tracks containing the abbreviations rus or ru have priority over the rest. To set a different language priority, for example, Russian, Japanese, English, you could write rus jpn eng . Now all that remains is to click the “Close” button at the bottom right of the window and the settings are saved.
