If you do SinOsc s=&gt; dac and the 100.0 =&gt; s.gain, are you then able to blow a speaker on a Mac laptop even if it&#39;s main volume is turned down? That&#39;s the curious thing to me, how the filter messes up so badly it makes my MacBook&#39;s speaker scream even though the volume is almost down to zero.<br>
<br>I know I should just test this myself instead of ask (I&#39;m tired and going to bed - i&#39;ll try tomorrow), but the point I&#39;m making is that this filter bug is bad in a way that can cause harm, and even though it may just the MacBook, some kind of limiter should be put in there, I think.<br>

+/- 1 would be too low for a lot of people.<br>

I think that on OSX you&#39;d clip the dac when the master volume would be set to unity gain and ChucK would go beyond +/-1 anyway.</div>

<div><br></div><div>Basically you&#39;d just end up with two more multiplications, I think. It doesn&#39;t really matter what we call the reference level anyway; it&#39;s just a matter of perspective relative to the final soundsystem.</div>
