color:#444444'>I would like to start a conversation with the VideoLAN team
about the current volume control implementation on the VLC player. The
option to allow the customer to adjust volume above 100% results in digital
distortion in any content that is mastered at or close to full scale. This
results in both poor sound quality and, more importantly, failure in internal
speakers and attached devices. Given the negative impact to customers and
manufacturers of systems supporting the software, I want to understand what it
would take to change the design to limit the volume control to 100%.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
