good to know. I have not experienced this on the delta66, but my levels 
may have been lower so it doesn't show up. Also I think the D66 is built 
for +4 in any case.

Yes.

Or if you have a newer version of Envy24control (version 1.0.4 here) the 
setting would be +0. (newer versions of envy24control are called mudita24)

Thank you for your correction. I have been using the D66 about as long, 
but there are differences.
