Live does not play a control's automation because the automation for this control has been overridden and is therefore disabled. This happens when you grab a control and manually set it to a new value while playing back the Arrangement. Also, when you launch a clip from the Session View, in the respective track, Live disables the automation for all controls in the track. Notice the "Back to Arrangement" button turns red to let you know that you are not hearing the Arrangement as it is stored. Press the "Back to Arrangement" button to return the Arrangement to its stored state. This feature allows you to "break away" from the Arrangement structure and spontaneously add clips and control parameters in Live.
