Can you please post video URL?
I found a solution (kind of). Before importing a video in LingQ, set the LingQ interface language in settings to your target learning language. This prevents autodub from switching to English and keeps the original audio. Its annoying that you have to do for each languages you change to.

Thanks for finding this. I actually just send an email to lingq asking whats the workaround for this terrible YouTube feature. I will use this going forward until youtube lets us permanently disable the feature.
This is an example of the issue.
Added it from recommended in LingQ, and ended up having to watch a Japanese movie dubbed to English. This is bad.
@thwedum Yes, the issue exists on both iOS and Android apps. We should push a fix for this on both platforms, hopefully this week or early next week.

@zoran Thanks Zoran. It’s also a problem in the web browser/desktop interface, not just in the apps.
Edit: I’ve just found that in the web browser interface the audio track can be reset to original by expanding the video window, which allows the Youtube video settings cog to be accessed. But it would be great if the audio track could be set to original by default, so that I don’t have to perform this workaround on a video-by-video basis.
@glossboss Correct, at the moment there is a workaround on the web version where you can change the audio manually. We will soon push a fix for this for both apps.
