How to select any audio track as default track in VLC Media Player

Friends, you must have noticed that even after changing the audio track of a video in VLC media player, when you open it again , you find that it is running with its default audio setting. —which is especially annoying when watching a series and you have to change language for every episode.

Fine-tune the VLC to set your desired audio track as default audio track :-

1. Open VLC Media Player and open a media file.


2. Go to Tools >> Preferences


3. Click on Audio and you will see a dialogbox like this 



4. In the Preferred Audio Language write the  “EN” without the quotes for English language. As far as we know, you could also use “en”, or “English”, but this is what we tested with. For Hindi , two letter country code is "hi" or "HI". 

5. Click on save.
