Please note that when using the USB-C Dock for playback through the headphone / speaker jack, the signal will be pre-amplified. Many types of computer speakers and headphones may exhibit distortion at higher volume levels because they are not designed to handle amplified signals. This is expected. The solution is to turn down the volume until no distortion is heard.
