My sammichSID is getting 12.1 volts where it is supposed to be getting exactly 12. i am using a regulated power supply.
my question is, will this cause problems? i have tried one 6581, and the filter did not work. i dont know if the filter was blown to start with though. could this voltage difference be causing the filter to not work right?

I don't think 12,1V should be a problem. Maybe your 6581 was already damaged?

thats what i thought, but i have tried 5 different 6581s now. each time, the osc's get much quieter when the filter is applied.
maybe i am just unlucky?

12.1V is just 1% above what you want. That's definitely not an issue. At all. Besides - how do you know that the "problem" isn't the tolerance in your meter? ;)
6581s with broken filters are pretty common, that's much more likely.
