Premiere Pro Skips Second Audio Track (Mic) on MKV Import When Multiple Clips Are Imported

Hi Adobe team,
I’m facing a serious issue in the latest version of Premiere Pro 25.3.0 while importing OBS MKV recordings with multiple audio tracks (Game Audio on Track 1, Mic on Track 2).
Here’s what happened:
I imported all my recordings from a client project casually into Premiere.
For Clip 1 (Day-1), Premiere correctly imported both game and mic audio.
But for Clip 2 (Blue Prince Part-2, 2 hours long), Premiere only imported the game audio — the mic audio (Track 2) was completely missing from the timeline.
This initially caused panic, as I assumed the audio wasn't recorded — but after checking in VLC Media Player, I confirmed that Track 2 (mic) is present and working.
🔍 Investigation & Observation:
When you import one clip with two audio tracks, Premiere sometimes doesn’t process both tracks right away.
Then when you import the second clip, it only uses one track, skipping Track 2 completely — even if it exists in the file.
This behavior is inconsistent and creates serious issues when batch-importing clips for editing.
I have attached screenshots below for reference (include your screenshots in the post).
✅ Temporary Workaround (What Helped Me):
Wait a few seconds after importing the first clip to let Premiere finish processing it before importing the next one.
Or, create a new sequence first, then drag each clip one at a time.
Doing this allowed both audio tracks to appear correctly.
🙏 Feature Request / Bug Fix:
Please:
Fix the issue where Premiere skips Track 2 when importing multiple MKV files
Ensure all audio tracks are consistently detected, especially for batch imports
Or at least prompt a warning if an audio track is ignored during import
