low volume using Mausau's Nero plugins (6 chans)

Hi,
I have recently tried to convert Ac3 audio (6 Channels) to He-AAC 70 VBR preset (in Nero 6 .
Hopefully Mausau realized a very comprehensive plugin set, to cover almost any needs in conversion's field.
(Thank a lot to Mausau).
At the beginning, when Mausau's Ac3 PLUGIN was not available, I was used to preconvert and downmix the file Ac3 (6 Ch.)via Besweet or headac3he-0.23. with standard setting to a .wav (2ch.) file.
The result was clear and loud, perfect to be converted in he-AAC.
After Having tried the conversion directly via Mausau AC3 it sounds so low volume, so soft.
I have tried managing settings in Mausau's AC3 plug. but unusefully.
I have had to go back the previous procedure...

Any advice?

(sorry for my tremendous english)

Besweet and headac3he gains the volume. that why the volume is so much higher
direct decodning of ac3 always ends out with very low volume.
just as af you used acid without gain/volume boost

that why many old divx movies have so low sound. that didn't regain/boost volume in the decoding phase of the ac3 stream

Add input gain to all channels.

Thank You for your replies.

I'll try to  manage "input gain".

Even if I was pretty sure to have already tried that too.

besweet uses output gain not input!
