A Note on Audio Clipping

For some unknown reason, the default in game volume for the CoDriver is set quite low.  This means in order for any calls to be loud enough at 'default' the samples have to be boosted so much that significant amount of clipping occurs.  This gives the recording a harsh edge and adds distortion.

As clipping is a destructive process, not much can be done to mitigate this.  In an effort to minimize the clipping I have slightly underboosted meaning it may be required to increase the CoDriver volume a couple of notches.

If anyone would be interested in using a completely unclipped version (it does sound a lot cleaner) then I can make that available.  However you will need to turn the CoDriver audio to maximum to hear it properly.

Please note when setting volume in game you must do it from the main menu to save it to your profile.  If you set it from the mid game pause screen then changes are not permanent.
