Describe the bug

When you download a Youtube video with multiple audio tracks (multiple languages) it seems that one is randomly selected (instead of the orginal audio track).

To Reproduce

Update to v1.10.0, enable custom format selection and check the "Suggested" format as well as the list of "Audio" formats

Ok thanks, now i can download these videos in english, but the suggested audio-format is still spanish. I think it is not supposed to be this way. drawing

side note: if i select one of the panels under "Video" at the bottem of the "Format selection", the downloaded video will be in English: drawing

I think it is not supposed to be this way.

I can reproduce this behavior on my PC with yt-dlp so i guess this should be reported to the upstream

The suggested format is based on quality not language that's why it's suggesting a different audio language

Actually it does have a sorting parameter for language but has a lower priority than quality
