BUG: Switching off subtitles on live video causes audio to switch from 5.1 to stereo

When watching football yesterday, I turned off the subtitles ( which are eia-608 subs) and it switched the audio from 5.1 to stereo, causing the announcers of the game to be gone.

I have subtitles set to always on because I have deaf people in my home. Switching the subtitles back on restored the audio to 5.1 as expected.

This is not an issue with SRT subtitles, and seems to only present itself when watching live TV, although I didn’t thoroughly test this.

Any help would be appreciated.
