i just installed linux, and got a few things going now....pd works, audacity works, aplay works....

but aplay and audacity both play things fine, while pd seems to be playing my signal 1000 times to loud....i have to put a [*~ 0.0001] object before the dac~ to avoid serious clipping leading into total distortion.

same problem with the hydrogen drum machine, it seems.

any clues???
