I have had around 15 users comment on my new video, "The narcissist", that the background music is too loud, making it hard for them to hear me.

I need to know how many are affected by this. If this is a widespread problem, I may have to delete the video, and create an improved version. This is a problematic choice, at it will make less viewers watch the new video, which will likely make YouTube think the new video is not interesting.

@randahl The music was a bit to loud, specially the epic parts that, didn’t prevent from listening your voice, but feels very distracting. The calmer parts fit correctly. I think is more of a level issue that all music is at same volume regardless if it is intense or not. I would keep the video as it is but take a bit of time editing volume on future videos.

Does Youtube allow videos with multiple audio tracks?Hmm, if it does, either I've never watched one, or switching audio track is hidden. I know I have accidentally watched translated videos, but that may be something Youtube does later. And that has only been in apps like Newpipe, and was a bug in the download code, so I don't know how that's supposed to work. Maybe there isn't supposed to be a way to switch, Google is infamous for giving you the choice they want you to see with no option to select a different one.

@danielgibert thank you for the constructive input, Daniel. That may be the outcome.
Currently my thinking is, if 90 percent can hear things just fine, I am leaning towards leaving the video as is and improving the audio in upcoming videos. On the other hand, if 50 percent say there is a problem, I should probably delete and reupload.

@leeloo Yes. For instance, if I want to overdub myself in Danish, I can do that with an additional audio track. But each audio track has to be for a specific language, and there can only be one audio track per language.
I was hoping I could upload an audio track that I could name "Dialogue focus", but that is not supported. They do not even have an option to upload specific audio for the hearing impaired, which I find quite surprising in 2026.
