Serious 6.0c Surround Bug - HELP!

Okay, after trying in vain to post back in Sept & October and exchanging a series of unhelpful emails with Sony Support, I'm going to try once more beforing rebuilding 4 film projects from scratch.

First, I have tried the usual - uninstalling, reinstalling Vegas, drivers etc. Second, I have been succesfully creating surround projects in version 5.

I have a eMu Emulator X setup for surround mixing.

THE PROBLEM:

Most of the surround projects I created in 5 are now not workign in 6.0C. What occurs is that all 6 channels go the LR of the sound card.

Vegas Mixer indicates correct surround channel playback but eMu mixer only show LR.

Here's where it gets weird. Close project, start a new surround project without changing anything and surround works correctly, everytime.

Furthermore, if you add a new track in the problem project and attempt any surround panning, you get the same problem, only LR output.

I've verified and re-verified project settings are identical. Also, I have a couple of simple surround projects created in 5 that are working correctly.

There must be some data in VEG file that is corrupted or someone is mapping output incorrectly. Otherwise, the problem would happen with both files.

I also confirmed that mixdown to stereo was not engaged, though curiously, engaging it on and off in the problem projects changes the sound slighly, although both are LR only.

Any help or insight would be much appreciated.
