So that audio issue? Not solved. I'm still getting weird surround sound stuff.

Here's the issue: When I watch the video on anything, all the sound levels are off and it appears to be more or less a mono file, even though it's listed as 5.1.

However, when I watch it in VLC player, if I change "Audio device" from stereo to 5.1, the audio sounds perfect. I don't have a full surround sound set up, so I don't know what to do. I don't have a way of knowing if this will sound right in a 5.1 system. I'm going to render a stereo version of the sound as well, in case it stays screwy and people without surround set ups can still hear the movie.

I'm so exhausted by this.
