audiovideoyoutube
I am in France for the holiday, and the internet connection is not that great. Actually, I have to select 240p for my YouTube videos. I am following a YouTube course. While a poor video quality is acceptable, a poor audio quality is more of a problem.
Is there a way to have high quality audio despite low quality video on YouTube?
I finally found a solution. It works in Google Chrome only and it requires two extensions.
Install the extensions Remove Scrollbars YouTube Options
Set Youtube Options to the fellowing settings:
Play a playlist in YouTube and go to the browser fullscreen mode by hitting the keyboard F11 button. This is important!
The transition of the video's are not fluently, but it stays fullscreen.
From their official Google support page:
You can set permanent quality settings in the Playback Setup menu.
From what I see, you can use the menu to select "I have a slow connection. Never play higher-quality video". While you can't select your desired 240p (possibly because not every video has such a quality available), it should help you save up those bandwidth and load videos at a much faster rate.
Hope this helps!

No this isn't possible, seeing that the video and audio are linked when they stream. To get the highest quality sound you need the highest quality video.
