The VideoLAN Forums

How do I set up VLC to play without any effects added? I am mostly interested in what setting on the volume doesn't cause clipping (200% is full? or 100% is full?). Also, I figured out that if I hold down CTRL while using the up arrow, I can get above 200%.

I was confused and just wanted to listen to music without experiencing distortion. I have been going on 50% right now, but I don't know where I should actually put it to be bit perfect.

Also, how do I do the same for audio from video files? Thanks!

100% is the normal rate.

I too am interested in this subject. Is there any way to disable the volume control and any other audio processing permanently? I want a bit-perfect copy of uncompressed audio files to end up at the SPDIF output.
