Feature request: clipping indicator

[dex Otaku]

I know the Peace GUI has an indicator but I also keep reading that it meters the stream from the wrong part of the processing chain and doesn't reflect accurate levels.
Is there any way we could have just a simple clipping indicator, or say a -20dBfs and clipping indicators?

Thanks,

The clipping indicator of Peace is of the current selected audio device. If you're using VoiceMeeter or a device that doesn't have a clipping value accessable by Windows, Peace can't show it (and will show the former device).

In theory Equalizer APO could indicate the clipping or any real-time dB level, since it has access to the audio stream (as Peace has not).

Thanks Juha. It's a nice way to get the peak values of all currently active sessions but as Peace only shows one peak meter (the one of the current active audio device) it isn't the right way to go. Technically speaking Peace gets the active (default) device by the GetDefaultAudioEndpoint method and monitors if the default device changes to display the right peak value. On the other hand it interesting to display the peak values of all active sessions. It's an idea I can incorporate in Peace.
