5.1 sound keeps changing the volume

Hi everyone!

I'm a complete noob, so sorry if my question is stupid. I'm creating a 5.1 surround song and between Ls and Rs is veeery quiet (behind listener). I want the whole song to be at the exact maximum volume at every side that is coming from.

Thanks for help!

That's emphatically not a stereo track panned around, I'm afraid. That's a multitrack mix, where individual (mono) channels have been panned around the sound field, with effects added. Unless you have all the raw components, then you simply can't re-create this effect.

Sorry, but you are speaking much more advance then I can understand what to do...

This is one example of what I want to do. When you listen to it with your headphones you have a feel like it is going around you and like you are on the concert and audio volume is same through the whole circle it goes.

EDIT: I tried to turn off the Center and still L and R are louder than Ls and Rs.

So you have created a 5.1 Multitrack session. What content are you using? Is the session made up of individual mono sounds or are you using stereo audio clips to begin with? Basically where the sounds appear from is down to how you use the Surround Panners available on each track in the Surround Multitrack session.

I'm using one normal stereo song and just trying to make it going in the circle, something like 8D audio and the thing is that I want the whole sound to be at the exact same volume all the time, but I just want that sound to go in circle from all of the directions. I know it's confusing, but I don't know how else to explain. I just want to know what to change to get that surrounding effect. Thank you for your reply!

Edit: This is how it looks like. It is going in the whole circle with this pan and I just need to make it play in the same volume during the whole circle it goes.

You want stereo to travel in circles around a soundfield? You'll be lucky! To have even the faintest chance of this working even a bit, you'd need to pan each channel separately, to begin with - but that's just the start of it, as you'll have to leave out the centre channel to do it, and that's going to be somewhat tricky to set up, I suspect. And it's going to get very confused as it travels, and actually won't sound like stereo at all in the transitions. You stand a better chance with a mono source, which is what the pan control is really meant to steer.
