I'm using media sources in my layouts, but when mixing and previewing audio through recording, I get strangely high audio levels that don't seem to match what I'm seeing visually in the audio mixer. I'm used to mixing game audio to around -25dB and keeping my mic around -10dB and having it sound perfect. However if I use a media source it's around 10dB too loud when recording test audio.
To test and make sure I'm not crazy I loaded up an identical stream and synced them up. One through a media source, and one through VLC, captured with game capture and audio application capture. The one with vlc sounded normal, while the media source sounds way too loud. Both were peaking visually at the same place in the mixer. Not sure if I'm going crazy or this is a bug. Not sure if a log file will help but I'll attach one anyway.
