I have searched forum and don't see any others having pointed this issue, so not sure if just me.  A couple years ago when installing ML on my 7DM-I the external audio input worked fine.  Then sometime a while back there was an ML upgrade (sorry, didn't note the build or would have reverted) which seems to have killed the analog audio input levels.  Boot camera without ML, the audio input levels are fine, with ML and they are so very very low that at a minimum I have to bump the analog DB up to maximum within ML but that isn't as clean as getting normal levels to begin with.
What am I missing here why ML external mic audio levels are so through the floor on a 7D Mark-I that the level indicator barely registers? 
Without my Rode video-mic plugged in the built-in camera mic levels are fine and normal.
Yes, yes, I know to use an external audio recorder, which I always do.  BUT, I prefer to use the hotshoe videomic compared to internal camera mic for my reference audio AND as a backup to my audio recorder/shotgun mic, as you sometimes need that decent backup.

I've had to revert to not using Magic Lantern-loaded CF card when doing important interviews, JUST for that decent backup audio.
Any ideas why my ML levels through the floor?
