    When trying to obtain overall DB gain via the equalizer, it instantly (at +0.1) gives static and decreases the quality of the music playing. This has happened on Fedora 12's current stable package of Audacious, a hand built 2.3-beta1 build, and an Mercurial build. I've had two people acknowledge this so far and was told to report a bug. If anymore information is needed, please ask or try to reproduce the bug yourself.

    To reproduce:
     
    1) Open Audacious
    2) Play music
    3) While playing music, use the equalizer (any slider will do although the overall slider is more noticeable)
    4) Hurry up and take the slider back down before you deafen yourself. :P

If you get crunchy sound, you need to adjust the leftmost bar (preamp? limiter? I always forget what it's called). It gets static-y quickly because it's a very intense equalizer... I enjoy it very much, personally.

Clipping is a problem inherent with digital audio. If you amplify a signal that's already at the maximum PCM range, you will get distorted audio. This is not a bug.
