Yep, me too. After the X3c update, I get the right meter of the CE pegged and a low level high pitched distorted buzz. Never had it before.
I did the VST rescan, no change. I too find that un-ticking the 64 bit engine makes the pegging go away, but then the right side meter is dead. Changing from mono to stereo does seem to cure the pegging, and the right side meter then responds correctly, but that's a rather odd workaround.
Please please please fix! It's making projects un-listenable if they have CE (most all my recent ones do). Any ideas?
