Topic: cog 0.07, flac24bit, 100%volume=distortion 70+-%=GOOD SOUND

When I play a FLAC file 24bit, and have the volume-bar set to 100% it sounds if it got through a compressor, and makes noise in the heavy-parts.
Does COG-0.07 has a built in compressor like VLC? "I hope not..."
it only seems to affect FLAC files more than MP3

VLC plays the file fine at 100%, but gives the same distortion when going to 200/400%

So Is it a compressor issue? Does Cog has one? Is compressor the right word?

100% on the volume slider is actually 200% volume. The volume is on a logarithmic scale, so the 70% area you describe is most likely the place for 100% volume.

AHA big_smile

BTW is there a way to turn this feature on/off?  "like a button allow/limit volume above 100%"
because it make my speakers really sound broken... although it might be cool for laptop users
