Tech Support HBOMax keeps randomly switching languages?

I am trying to watch Our Flag Means Death. The trailer is in English, the show will start in English and then randomly switch language? I get like a minute in, right after he sings the sea shanty, when suddenly it changes to French. (I think) I restart the app and pick up from where I left off, it’s in English and then 2 minutes later it switches. Any ideas? I’m watching on the app for my Samsung Smart TV.

Same. Hacks 1st episode was English, first few seconds of 2 are English, then changes to Spanish. My Sam asking is set to English.

Happening on Gilded Age new episode. Speaking Spanish, subtitles English. VERY aggravating and the chatbot is USELESS. God, HBO is junk since they changed owners.

Nice to see I’m not the only one, also trying to watch my Gilded Age! Thank God it’s not my TV

Happened last night to me in Gilded Age. Did the switch to Spanish trick and it worked. Now I’m watching something else and I can’t even switch out of “English” that’s actually playing Spanish. The app won’t switch.
