    Why does my Olympus DM-720 audio sound distorted?
    • J
      Jennifer FreemanAug 21, 2025
      If the audio from your Olympus Voice Recorder sounds distorted, it could be because the recording level hasn’t been adjusted properly. Redo the recording after adjusting the recording level. Also, the voice recorder’s recording level, or the output level of the connected external device may be too high. If the problem continues after adjusting the voice recorder’s recording level, adjust the output level of the external device.
