Input clipping

Avatar

I noticed that when my browser (Firefox) and some apps like some games outputs in mixer are set to 100, the SW input and consequently output is clipping.

I am struggling to understand why is this happens. I have to keep an eye on levels on Windows mixers which I am annoyed about.

Has anyone else had similar problem?

    Hey Krzysztof,

    Does the issue persist when the safe headroom feature is enabled?

    Hi! I'm not the original poster but the issue does persist because safe headroom (to my understanding) only affects output, not input.

    Hey guys, 

    I inquired about the safe headroom feature as we really can't correct the input levels and would rather affect the output to fix any distortion that might be introduced.
    high input levels should not cause issues in most situations if the safe headroom option is enabled.
    Can you confirm whether it is on when the problem occurs?
