Help with Audio problems

Anyone want to take a stab at this? I am new to DVD Architect 2. I just finished a final burn on a dvd of picture slideshows and musuc compilation. After placing the finished DVD in my home theatres DVD player, I noticed that all the video and picture looked great. The audio on the other hand was horrible. All the audio, on the menus, in the music compilation, you name it was very bassy, and muted, next to impossible to hear, although at high volume, the subwoofer was about to knock my house down.

Any ideas what I did wrong or what is wrong?

The original music files were all imported into DVDA2 as .wma files converted from Nero's wave editor. The source music files were ripped using microsoft media player from cd's. All music sounded fine and still does in DVDA2 during creation and in preview.

I am lost and new....

Thanks for anyone's help.

Dave

Just taking a guess, but I would say that it sounded just as bad in both places (in DVDA and on your home theater), just that its imperfection is a lot more obvious in your home theater.
As a test, can you hook your computer's audio up to your home theater and preview the DVDA project that way?

Did you rip to WAV and then convert to WMA or straight to WAV? Personally, I wouldn't even bother with the WMA step. Just rip to WAV and then bring that into DVDA. Or if your final DVD is to use Dolby Digital, then use Vegas to render that WAV to AC3 and bring it into DVDA.
