Wasn't sure of where a noise would come from since Csound is synthed and 
clean sounding. Just wasn't sure in this case,... so I thought I'd ask. I see so much 
where not paying attention to gains of different modules get out-of-hand and noise occurs. 
Figured it was a slim chance, but thought I'd put it out there to look at. 

Hmmm,... DC,... maybe DC offset. That can mess with gain, seen that with op-amp 
circuits off and on, back in the day.

@Partev Since the sound is synthesized I don't think there is much noise going on, 
or you mean it can come from cables, connections?

@Thorin It can be, I'll check it out. So the low frequency can become a DC I guess.

Maybe you have very low frequencies, or a DC offset?

Is that possible?  When i try to increase the volume (signal constant multiplier)
the output decreases in dynamic range. I don't understand how that happens.
Can you suggest how to increase the volume in the output of Csound.

I try to use Csound for background music as a prerecorded drone generator
and I'd like to make sound louder. Right now it's too quiet and we need to 
set high gain values on mixing console to amplify the signal. 

When I multiply the signal it reduces in dynamic range. It looks like there is something that
compresses the signal. Is it csound or my soundcard? I'm using laptop.
