Does the audio distort when used at a high or max volume?

no they do not distort, but they have a lot of static and what I found after diagnostic is the circuit board in the subwoofer gets real hot and causes the static, I took the board out and left it hanging out and they work fine so I am trying to figure a way to control the heat other than the heat sink that is on there from the manufacture to control the heat problem. This gets so hot that you can fry an egg on it, I hope this is of help to you

No the volume does not distort it keeps its clear sound at max volume. However if you do listen to some songs with hard hitting bass in them, the bass can sometimes over power the the other sounds. The bass volume can be controlled with a different sound adjustment located on the volume control pod.

I did not get that but it does require the user to set max volume in order to start working. Either that or its been a coincidence on several occasions. Don't buy if you haven't yet and save yourself a lot of grief.

Truthfully, it doesn't actually matter. My personal philosophy is the bigger the better, so that as you turn it up you are not stressing the speakers, and there is less distortion. Hope that helps!

I turn mine to the lowest volume and it pics up all the souds with no distortion , however I do have to be sure not to be too close or there is a distortion but no popping thus far

No problems what so ever with audio. It just may be a glitch. It happens. Good luck!

In Sound Properties, there is a Stereo Mix option (IDT High Definition Codec). Not sure what it does or if works.

So far I have not gotten any complains about that. When you turn the volume up but you don't have it over your ears you definitely hear music clearly. Hope that helps!

That happened to me with the thumb drive. I cranked to volume up to right before its too loud for the speakers or earphones. Then it is fine on other mediums. Its still not like what you get from the overproduced music today but you hear the warmth natural sound of the record.

there should be an A/v sync option in the audio settings to adjust this ...try that

Not unless you have a line level device that has a variable output so it can be reduced enough not to overdrive the mic level input of the usb adapter. I am using a mixer that has line and mic level output and I'm using the mic level output to go into the usb adapter. I have used an mp3 player turned down to about 5 (1-off and 35-max) with no distortion or other artifacts. That is something that I was looking for in the beginning but these $5.00 items just don't have that much capability.

You will not get any distortion from this device. It has many adjustable settings. I never used it at a live concert but I say give it a try. If it doesn't work send it back for a refund.

I always have to adjust the Pal Bot's volume when I move it from one device to another, so it's fairly normal. However, I agree with Wildman's suggestion to try headphones with the devices to check.

Thanks for your question. Volume setting depends on individual recordings and sources. It's not atypical to have to turn up the volume.

Not that I have noticed. We are usually listening at less than half source volume so an adjustment to increase volume can be made. My daughters are typically the ones using the splitter function on a laptop and adjust it to their own preference. I used the splitter to control headphone volume on a bedroom TV audio out since that audio out could not be controlled through the TV.

You can, but I was getting fairly substantial distortion. I would have to turn it up very loud to hear dialogue, but then there was a loud buzz.

The sound is fine. I haven't noted any distortion even when the volume is turned up quite a bit.

Technically yes, but I wouldn't really recommend it because, the audio it produces is really very distorted regardless of the settings; if you try to make it less distorted you have to tone the volume too far down.
