What is YouTube's audio quality?

All audio on YouTube is compressed (approximately to around 126 kbps AAC), which in itself isn't such a bad thing; AAC compression can sound ok at relatively low bitrates. It becomes a problem, however, when poorly compressed videos are used as source files – effectively compressing the audio twice.

Can you adjust sound quality on YouTube?

From the home page, tap on your avatar in the top-right corner. Next, select the “Settings” button. Choose the “Audio Quality On Mobile Network” or “Audio Quality On Wi-Fi” option. Finally, select the streaming quality option that you want to use on your Android handset.

Does YouTube have high quality audio?

Performance. YouTube Music has certainly upped its game for audio quality since we last tuned in. The service launched with 128 kbps streams but has now doubled the bit-rate to 256 kbps (the format is AAC). Unsurprisingly, the listening experience is greatly improved, but it's still not quite banging.

Why is YouTube sound quality bad?

If the audio quality is poor, check to make sure that the file you delivered meets the specifications. If you delivered an MP3 file, for example, it likely has a low bit rate causing it to sound poor on YouTube. Redeliver the track with a higher quality audio file, preferably in an uncompressed format.
