Surround loses center channel when convolution enabled

I’m not an expert here but have some DIY convolution experience. What you’re not hearing is probably the result of applying a stereo convolution impulse to multi channel audio (resulting in stereo?). Convolution is applied per channel and I think you’d need appropriate 5.1 and 7.1 convolution filters. Then Roon has to support multichannel convolution as well, not sure if it does or not.
