Research direction
Start by reproducing the mismatch using the listed Windows 10, 7.1-device, stereo-output, Application Audio Output Capture, and Audio Output Capture setup, then inspect the two capture paths and the linked OBS log. Done means equivalent 7.1 sources produce aligned stereo downmix levels regardless of capture type; the issue names no files or tests.
