Reply to Master sync overrides my deck sync

. . this issue came up recently. . . ive restored defaults on on the S4. . . and i have reverted to a backup traktor settings file from a while back that i know definitely was functioning. . . i have also done a fresh install of TP2. . . . i cant seem to get decks to become master automatically. . . with auto button on in the clock panel it still continues to slave to the master sync. . with auto off i am able to manually click on deck master but when track ends, it reverts back to master sync and doesnt toggle master to the next deck . . . any suggestions would be AWESOME. .

ive been using traktor and S4 for a lil over a year, havent had this issue b4. . . i have a ticket in to NI, and waiting for a response from them as well. . . . .
