INTERESTING...

I think it is some kind of a bug, either in the DSP or in the programming that goes to the DSP.

All right. Start with a flat EQ, any volume setting, any music....

Take the first band and set its frequency to 18hz (not khz) and its Q to 20.0.

Decrease the gain (with a fixed Q) and you will hear:

-6db= SEVERE Distortion in the RIGHT CHANNEL ONLY, while the left channel is fine.
-7db= Right channel gone, left channel fine.
-27db= Both channels fine again.

Of course, no one outside of the Alpha team need mess with this, as it's on internal beta 12 which is the version that's not supposed to have L+R bugs...
