Vhat is happening here? Very weird, but it rings little bells in my head about QuickTime which can 'overdrive' audio to a little more than 200% of original volume. (You can access this feature in the standard controller by shift clicking on the volume control - alas this is broken 'on stage', but it works in Director's QuickTime window or in a web browser). Maybe MX is hooking up with OSX's standard audio features and getting stuck somewhere. In the old days, it was the Mac sound manager, which did not offer 'overdrive', now it's QuickTime. Coincidence?
