Hi Duane, With many sound cards, especially cheaper ones, a full-scale signal cannot be achieved. Try going to Settings, Advanced Tab, Clip Indicator Settings and changing to Clip Threshold value to something like -0.5. (You will probably have to play with this value a bit. One way to determine what the value should be is to record something loud where clipping is obvious and note the peak level on the meter by pressing the letter "a." Set the threshold a bit below this value.

I haven't touched SR since last spring and that was a whole computer ago. Since then I bought a new computer with Windows 8.1, contact APH and installed SR and more-or-less forgot about it. Now after a pleasant wrangle with my Realtec sound card I got SR to record. Great! Unfortunately my clip indicator won't beep. Naturally I looked it up in the manual. I went through the settings and nothing worked. I can turn the volume up so high the sound card blocks it but I can't make SR beep when I am setting my source volume too high. I looked through the rest of the settings thinking there was some peak meter setting I had to change, I did not uncheck peak meter which was checked by default but I did hit reset peak meter. I had changed it to Time View so I changed it back to wave view and nothing works. Can someone tell me how to make the clip indicator beep? Thank you. Sincerely Yours;: Duane Iverson
