Hi Tim, Hi Eliot,

Eliot our problem is on the Pi only, not on Windows10 not on Linux Mint
and I think Tim uses Mac Os w/o these problems. 5.3 release Squeak here too.

I created a fullscale sine and a 1.01 * fullscale sine in Audacity
(cross platform audio editor) on the Pi, saved them as 16 Bit Wav and
read them again -> all as expected. But Audacity was a bit unclear if it
used Pulse or Alsa.

Next I'll create these sines in Python where I hope to have more control
over the audio drivers.

Cheers,

Herbert

Given that both ALSA and pulseaudio allow setting of the sample format in order to handle 8, 16, 32 bt, integer and float, compressed, spindled, folded and mutilated, it is certainly possible there is an issue, though finding it will be 'fun'.
