that's great ! (it would mean that the non float 32 output is fixed)DirectX-Audio-Output works fine without Float32, but if I enable Float32 I still hear that nasty noise. Furthermore it seems like VLC is louder than other players (for example MPC) when I set the Volume to 100. This makes VLC sound a little bit overdriven. Other players do not! So this is a VLC specific problem. If I enable the EQ and lower Pre-Amp to ~8db I get good results. So that's my current workarround...
//Edit
nForce2 onBoard Sound / Windows XP SP-1 / DirectX 9.0c
Maximum un-amplified volume in VLC is 50%. any value about 50% can cause distortionBut what about the volume?
Is it a good idea to set the Pre-Amp to 12db by default?
At least for me it's too loud (overdriven) at this setting...

But why ??? Usuallay a volume of 100 should be maximum un-amplified volume.Maximum un-amplified volume in VLC is 50%. any value about 50% can cause distortionBut what about the volume?

it seems your soundcard driver doesn't have marked, that it doesn't support float32. float32 always has to be converted to fixedpoint (eighter by a hardware-dsp, the driver, or the application). otherwise you'll run into such distortion.In other players I don't get distortion when I move the volume bar to 100%
