Adobe Audition CS6 - Issues when doing multitrack mixdowns

Hey guys, after looking around and not finding a solution to my problem, I was hoping someone might be able to help me. I have been doing audio mixing in Audition CS6 with mogg files. I've been mixing them in 5.1 surround sound sessions. When I find a balanced volume for each part of the song and go to export, it exports and doesn't sound like what I heard while working in the session. I've been exporting the mixdowns as FLAC files. When I do this, for some reason the bass and drums are louder than every other instrument, even though in the session they don't sound like this. Does anybody have any explanation as to why this could be? I've tried messing with the pan settings in multitrack preferences too. Could it be the file type? Any help would be appreciated.

    How are you monitoring your 5.1 surround mixes? What audio interface and speakers are you using?

    I'm very sorry for not responding earlier. I'm not sure what you mean by audio interface, do you mean the audio hardware setting? It's set to ASIO. As for the speakers, I'm using a Logitech G40 headset. It is 7.1 surround sound and has been properly configured.

    Yes I did mean what soundcard device you are using. However I can't help any further since I don't know if the Logitech headset can be configured properly to provide the correct surround sound monitoring with Audition. Audition requires an interface that can provide six discrete audio channels out not just decode previously encoded surround audio, which is all that your headset can do I suspect. So does the Audio Hardware set up page in Audition's preferences with the ASIO drivers allow you to select individual outputs for all six of your surround channels?
