When you're in the mix window and the tracks that you want to work with are shown, just press Page Up and re-check those meters. Page UP scrolls the window, hopefully bringing the problematic track into focus visually, and once that's happened, things should start working as expected with VoiceOver. If you've got a lot of tracks shown, you might need to rinse and repeat the procedure a couple of times.
