  • According to new code strings in the latest YouTube beta app, YouTube may soon let users adjust audio quality separately from video quality, offering options like Auto, Normal, and High.
  • The feature appears to be exclusive to YouTube Premium subscribers and may not be available for all videos.
  • Higher audio quality settings may also consume more data.

YouTube is testing a major upgrade that could give users more control over their listening experience.
