Terrible noise when playing multiple notes together

Having trouble with LMMS? Ask about it here.
Hi,

I wanna get into LMMS but one thing that disturbs me pretty hard is the following problem: as soon as I play 2 or more notes simultaneously, it just creates a horrible sounding noise. Although my computer is pretty shit, the soundcard shouldn't be the problem, FL Studio works fine and another song from a tutorial on YT just works fine too, I can't figure out the problem tho.

Thanks in advance, Delta

Sound as you are using windows, and have chosen a wrong back-end sound-devise :
If so, setting devise to SDL shutting down lmms, and restarting, should fix it

If that was not it
please post your:
* OS (+service-pack-version)
* lmms version
* hardware specification (ram & soundcard is the most important)
* lmms sound device chosen
* a sound-file on soundcloud or a similar service illustration the problem
Okay, I think I finally figured out the problem. I tried to use a LMMS project of an actual song and it sounded just like 3 notes playing together. But if I add a new TripleOsc., it sounds exactly like my problem, just horrible. Thats why I guess it sounds bad because of the preset settings of a new TripleOsc. Here is an example: https://soundcloud.com/frosto43/lmms-te ... se/s-oKcUx (I mean the scratchy noise)
By default, TripleOscillator clips (there is too much volume) when you play more than one note. The way to fix this is by lowering the overall plugin volume or by decreasing the oscillator volume.

Yes, that is like R1kay says. You have distorted sounds, because of extensive loudness clipping.
You need to
* use lower volume
* use the ENV tab and build a proper envelope, taking attack and release into the build

* Route the output to its own channel in mixer
