> This issue occour only on my main account profile but on my other managed profile everything works fine:

The automatic selection will only work if the user has not already selected a (audio or subtitle) track manually on that particular video.  
This manual selection will always take precedence over the automatic.

So if you want to test the automatic, make sure to use a video which is either brand new, or where you are 100% certain that you haven’t manually changed the track selection yet.

The manual selection is only purged during a [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064).
