On my computer I use an analog output for playback. Clipping happens before DA conversion, so I can use the volume control on the amplifier to have normal volume levels. > current screamer branch.

Crackling is normally a timing problem where audio samples aren't delivered in time. Clipping produces harmonic distortions. For example a clipped sine wave will sound metallic because of the harmonic distortions. The difference between a clipped and a pure sine wave is clearly audible. > audio I played with OSX guests, not Mac OS 9.x guests. > > So as there is no regression, > tested by: howard spoelstra <hsp.c...@gmail.com <mailto:hsp.c...@gmail.com>> With best regards, Volker
