    Hey, Itshim.
    Thanks for reaching out on our help forums and sorry to hear your audio selection is on Welsh no matter which language you're switching this to, we'd love to see how we can best support you with this.

    Basic questions but we'd like to make sure, is this currently an issue on S4C only or more channels and which others, if so?
    Also, could you advise if rebooting your TV box and/or hub helps with clearing this issue?

    Let us know and we're eager to assist.

      I only need this on S4C, so not tried anything else. Re booting the box did not help

        Thank you for that information. Are you able to try that on another channel to see if it is the same?

    S4C is a Welsh channel, so the primary soundtrack broadcast is Welsh. TV boxes are set to English language by default, so assume the primary soundtrack is English. Hence if you want Welsh, select English & if you want English, select Welsh 😕.

    Add to that that not all programmes have an English soundtrack (they don't have to carry one) you will get Welsh whatever you select. The last time I used it (Royal Welsh Show) it was working.

      It is usually just some live football and some live rugby which has additional English commentary.
