Hi guys, I’m using a Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Pro with Kuba Disk Earphone. Listening Spotify, in certains music and using preset Music, I have distortions in souds in volume 50% or more. When I turn off FX sound, I don’t have dirtortions, pq the sound is poor and really bad. It’s a limitation of my motherboard and your sound card or limitation of FXSound? In another system with Creative sound and my Kuba Disc I don’t have distortions. ---

Hello Gustavo, I’m guessing that’s probably because the Music preset cranks the bass way up. Solution: turn the Bass slider down a bit, or turn the Bass setting of your Kubas down a level. Let me hear what @PLEASE_DELETE has to say about this - hi @PLEASE_DELETE, any advice for this user? Thanks. ---

Hi @doolhoofd , thanks for your help. I reduced bass slider and reduced all levels in 2 points. This solution resolved the distortions when I use the volum at 70%, after 70% I have distortions, but not much more ---

Glad that helped, a bit. Usually when clipping occurs, it’s due to excessive bass. ---

Here’s one more friendly tip. Your system has multiple Volume sliders: one in Windows, one in Spotify, one in VLC, etc. **Never** set **any** Volume slider to 100% (or beyond!). Keep all sliders at 85% max at all times, to further avoid clipping. True story: I visited a friend recently who was suffering from a ton of distortion - yeah, all his Volume settings were maxed out, no wonder! I looked up every single slider in the system, toned them all down one by one, and the clipping disappeared. ![clipping](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fxsound/original/1X/c7b488150d4ad3a050edaeba97fada7c6a4c1d7b.png) ---

He might try some stuff like the natural hearing volume on the effect panel in the Windows audio settings or such. Also, most audio files can be ripped/converted with Replay Gain or a volume limit or something like that. Asides that, i guess, doolhoofd is right here; it is more about the settings. Also be aware not to mix up another audio processing of any kind or additional effect filters or such in hardware and software. ---
