Our team works on video material with 5.1 audio, but our art director's and editor's workstations don't have a 5.1 speaker setup, so they keep the Downmix Output button pressed to hear all the audio in stereo.
The problem is, that when the button is pressed, the volume drops. This leads to those people constantly tweaking the volumes up, after which I hear the Vegas project in 5.1 and it's been set way too loud... over and over again.
Why does the Vegas Downmix Output button introduce a volume drop? I have a similar button on my 5.1 amplifier: it switches off the 5.1 audio and downmixes it to stereo. It introduces no volume change like the Vegas Downmix button does.
Why? What am I doing wrong?
