Audio Tracks

Many titles carry more than one audio track: different languages, a commentary, or the same language in different formats like stereo and surround. Zuno lets you pick the one you want and, if you like, choose it automatically every time.

Looking for subtitles? See the dedicated Subtitles page.

Choosing an audio track

While something is playing, tap the screen to show the controls and open the Audio Track menu. Every track the file offers is listed, each labelled with its language, format, and channel layout, for example English · Dolby Digital · 5.1, so you can tell surround from stereo at a glance. Tap one to switch to it straight away.

For a series, the track you pick is remembered for that show, so the next episode starts on the same choice.

Enhanced Dialogue and Night Mode

Two options in the audio menu help you hear a film the way you want, without changing anything about the original recording.

Enhanced Dialogue makes speech clearer. Choose Low, Medium, or High: higher settings lift voices further above the music and effects, and High also gently eases back the surrounding sound while someone is talking. Leave it on Off for the original balance.
Night Mode keeps things comfortable for late-night viewing. It softens loud moments like explosions, brings up quiet dialogue, and trims heavy bass, so you can watch at a low volume without reaching for the remote.

You can use either on its own or both together. To turn them on, tap the screen during playback, open the audio menu, and pick your setting. Your choice is remembered for next time.

You can also set them as defaults, and give Night Mode a nightly schedule, in Settings → Playback. Choose Scheduled for Night Mode and set a From and Until time, and it turns on and off on its own each night. If you switch it on or off by hand during a scheduled window, that choice holds until the window next changes, then the schedule takes over again.

Setting a preferred audio language

Rather than choosing by hand each time, you can tell Zuno which language to reach for. In Settings → Playback → Audio, set your preferred languages in order:

First Choice, Second Choice, and Third Choice.

When a video starts, Zuno tries your first choice, then the second, then the third. If the file has none of them, it falls back to the file’s own default track. Leave a slot on None to skip it.

As with manual switching, your most recent choice for a series is remembered per show, so once you’ve set a show the way you like it, later episodes follow suit.
