In this guide, we show you how to add or remove multiple audio tracks in a video on a Windows 11/10 PC.
How to add or remove Multiple Audio Tracks in a Video on Windows PC
Removing multiple audio tracks in a video on a Windows PC is a simple process with LosslessCut, a free video tool available on GitHub. By using the LosslessCut tool, you can add or remove multiple audio tracks as well as subtitle tracks to a video on Windows 11/10 PC. Let’s see how to use it.

- Click on the Tracks button
- Now, click on the Speaker button to disable the audio track
- Close the Tracks overlay and click on Export
- Choose the File name as well as the destination folder and export it
Let’s get into the details of the process.
To get started, download the Portable version of LosslessCut from GitHub. Extract the LosslessCut portable app zip file and Open the LosslessCut application file. Then, drag and drop the video file onto LosslessCut or manually import the video file by clicking on the home screen. After importing your video file, click on the Tracks button to see all the available video, audio and subtitle tracks in the file you have imported.
In the tracks overlay window, you will see all the tracks available in that video file. Click on the Speaker button to disable the audio track. Similarly, you can click on the Text button to disable the subtitles or text tracks attached to the video.
To add an audio track to the existing video file, scroll down in the Tracks window and click on Include more tracks from other file and import the file.
Once you are done with adding or removing audio or subtitle tracks to the video, close the Tracks overlay windows and check if the audio and video are perfectly in sync on the LosslessCut home screen video player. Then, click on the Export button at the bottom of the screen to save the video.
Choose the file name and destination in the Export window and save the file. It will be saved in a few minutes, unlike professional video editors, which take hours to export a video based on your system configuration. There will not be any loss in the video quality. Hence, the video file size does not decrease unless you disable an audio track in the file.
