What's currently displayed as 100% is "0dB", i.e. no amplification. Going past 100% has a positive dB value, and lower than 100% has a negative dB value. I don't think that you're likely to fry your speakers when you go past 100% and start using software amplification, but there is a high chance of getting the peaks of the sound waves clipped due to integer/floating point limits, after which you would start hearing popping sounds. > assuming you are not on a laptop, though, sound is usually crappy on them > anyway… From my experience, only the integrated laptop speakers have crappy sound. Using good headphones or external speakers on a laptop results in pretty good sound, actually. -- Kind regards, Loong Jin
