Fwd: playloudness of audioclip ignored on Windows?

[David V Glasgow]

This is still driving me nuts.  I tried setting the overall playloudness, and displaying that value in a field in the standalone.  On Windows it reports 0, but still plays the click at the pre set play loudness level.

Has no one else encountered this or similar?
