    What to do if my Yamaha Electronic Keyboard sounds are distorted?

      If the sounds from your Yamaha Electronic Keyboard are distorted, the effect settings may not be appropriate. Try changing the effect types and their settings. The distortion might also be due to the volume being set too high. Adjust the volume. If you're using external audio sources, adjust their volume or use the INPUT [GAIN] knob on the keyboard. You can also adjust the volume from the “I/O Volume” ? “USB Audio”.

      If a sound continues to play indefinitely on your Yamaha Electronic Keyboard, it might be due to lingering effect sounds like delay.

If another Live Set Sound is selected during a sound continues to play, press the currently selected Live Set Sound button once more.

First, ensure that external audio equipment (like amplifiers, speakers, or headphones) is correctly connected via audio cables, as this instrument lacks built-in speakers.
