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???

in the top right panel, there's a speaker icon. right click on it and select "Open Volume Control". The volume of your soundcard most likely "goes up to 11" just like in Spinal Tap. Try setting it at about 85% and maybe it'll be like what is called 100% on some other cards. I've had a similar problem with my laptop. there might be several volume controls chained together. you may have to reduce several of them. e.g. on my laptop i had Master + PCM + the analog wheel next to the earphone jack.
or is it different using your other programs?... do those using the OSS interface behave differently from those using the ALSA interface?

the poster is on PPC linux. i had similar issues - it seems to be some sort of endianness issue with the output samples. connecting PD to JACK, then JAck to the device tends to solve the issue..

or in my case, ditching the ppc and gettign a P4 machine has really helped.
i have installed the same os (ubuntu breezy) , with the same version of PD, and the same soundcard.... but no volume issues any more.
still, once i get this mew box up and running properly, i will go back and see if i can fix up the ppc one as well.
btw, mathieu.....this one wasn't just 'going to 11'. it was going to 11000.

I get the same thing on my 200MHz Pentium MMX machine running linux with ALSA. Audio works fine with aplay but with pd0-39.2 it's very distorted. I'm not sure if it's byte-reversed or way too loud. OSS works fine though, so I use that.
