V3.3 Issue

For me and another radio amateur friend, the sensitivity in the display dropped drastically after installing 3.3. Where previously S9+5 were at the top of the upper QO-100 beacon, I only saw S3.
We had installed the new version over the old one 3.2, so the settings should be the same, right?
What are we doing wrong and what should be done?

Screenshots using the "screenshot" button with the DSP panel and radio settings displayed would be most helpful.
Do not place them in the text, but attach them (full editor must be enabled, below the text box).
Installing updates are placed over the current version, so you are correct, settings "should" be the same.

Gerd, what is the hardware? Pluto, Lime?

One might also ask, "Has the readability of any of the incoming signals changed?"

Nope. It concerned mostly the beacons of QO-100. (Another sporadic signals as well)
Falling back to V 3.2 the issue was gone.

In the next days I will start with 3.3 again "from the beginning". At the moment I run 3.2 and thus it doesn't make sense to post a current screenshot .

The reason I asked if Pluto or Lime is that in 3.3 some recent changes were made to Visual Gain calibration in the Lime. Be interesting to know what hardware you are running?

So what are you using as the sampler plugin to SDRC? "#5" is not an answer. (It also sounds, from what I've read, that you are expecting readings that are unrealistically high. And, no, sometimes there are changes to the apparent "calibration" of the uncalibrated non-instrument colloquially called SDRC.
