Sound is distorted

Volume level is set too high

Decrease the volume

Sound source is distorted

If the Zune original sound source (MP3) is old or of poor quality, distortion
and noise are easily noticed with high-power speakers. Try a different
audio source such as a music CD.

If you are using an external sound source, try reducing the output volume
on the device itself. Also try turning bass boost OFF.
