Yes, thanks. I might just try sticking in my USB function generator and
go up with voltage untill the sound card clips...
Also, I realized that putting a zener diode in parallel will just clip
the signal at the diode voltage, so it won't solve the problem.
A simple resistor in series with the piezo (of appropriate value)
should work, shouldn't it?
