> Ok I think it may be related to the SRS downmixer, if your sound card is set to stereo , and your project is set to 5.1 in fmod studio, it will upmix to 5.1, then downmix through a 3rd party downmixer (SRS) which seems to be doing the filtering.

Have verified that it is the SRS downmixer.

A simple solution in this case, is to switch your project from 5.1 to 7.1 (or stereo), which will avoid the SRS downmixer altogether.
