This is a fine machine! It feels great knobs turn smooth with a good resistance, inputs aswell. Push buttons light up nice and is equiped with 48v phantom power countdown.
I am using it for my bassguitar and XLR Mic, rhe first takes where so easy to make and it gives a lot of output db's!
You get lots of softwate to use with Ableton live lite and thats great to test out this awsome DAW. If i have to say what a downside is, it must be the price especialy when you have to choose between more in/outputs or a nice visual db meter on the topview versions.
Overall this is a good buy! I recomend it to all beginners and next level/step musicians and producers.c. harbin
VOLT 2
This has been a terrific experience so far. What had happened was that my "used to be" reliable Audient iD4 was having an issue where it would revert to the 512 buffer for the output only. That was annoying.
So Guitar Center had this and I gave it a try. The drivers seem to be solid and it's a little bit better latency @ 128 than the Audient. It's stable and has done exactly what I've wanted it to. Easy interface controls, easy to get levels right (make sure you hit that INST button for guitar) and the Vintage mode seems to do some kinda "voodoo" as well.
Now, I'm using the old all USB C cable instead of the one that comes with the unit. Not sure if there is a difference. The sound quality seems to be a bit more clear imo than the Audient.
Two things I either don't like or wish they would change:
-Why are soundcards designed for left handed people? Headphones should be on the left and inputs should be on the right. Having those cables criss-crossed is annoying. Left handed people rejoyce!
-I wish there was a GUI for the computer. It's totally doable for gain staging, but a graphic representation would be nice.R. Fontolan

Good for beginners, but…
I purchased this for use with IOS for social media work, for shorts using direct audio straight into the camera app for the convenience of minimal editing work in post. Upon evaluating it against other interfaces I own, the accuracy and frequency detail of the VOLT is way out of balance and has little headroom. The character was immediately noticeable even through just the phone speakers—even worse on monitors. Many argue that these days converter technology is so good there’s no point spending extra $$ as there isn’t any difference. Well, certainly not the case here. I had high hopes for this and sadly can’t say much more positives about it, perhaps it has good build quality and didn’t give me any connectivity issues… but while comparing audio transparency to even a digital mixer I own that’s little over twice the cost, doesn’t come close.
E. Circiumaru
Very quiet, doesnt drive the monitors at all.
I had many interfaces so far and I also have an Apollo Twin X. The Volt 2 is useless. It is very quiet, doesnt provide enough output to the monitors. It gets to the normal listening level only if the volume knob is on max. The volume knob travel is also off, it barely increses the volume and as soon as you reach near max, it becomes very sensitive and incresease the volume by more that 100% although the max volume is the corresponded of having the output volume knob at noon on Apollo or any other interfaces, included the cheap ones. Very disappointed in the Volt 2. Beware and do not buy it!
Q. Vandermerwe
Works well, software needs attention
I bought the Volt 2 to replace a Focusrite 2i2, which kept crashing Windows 11. Much to my disappointment, I could initially get no sound from the unit in Windows 11, though it worked fine under Windows 10. After uninstalling and re-installing the drivers three times, it suddenly started working.
The noise floor is a bit higher than I expected, but it is workable. The 'Vintage' function does not sound as good as Focusrite's version, but the built-in compressor is nice to have.
The included software and plugins are hampered by poor feature descriptions, bloat, poor quality and the need to register and license multiple items.

Great audio interface, but please allow volume mute/change from Mac keyboard
I recently purchased this device for my small home studio and am very happy with it. For the price, it's an excellent interface.
Only issue I have is that it's not recognizing Mac volume controls. I am quite used to constantly adjusting the level of my audio playback through my keyboard, and it's annoying to now having to do that through the monitor knob. Please release a driver update that allows for volume changes on Mac.a. THERASSE

Works well, one flaw
For the most part this has worked as expected, and the bundled software is nice. The only thing I don't like is that it disables the Mac's built-in volume/mute controls. I understand that digitally lowering the volume reduces the audio quality, but I'd still like to have it as an option when using this for normal system audio. And there's no good reason not to be able to mute from the Mac.

Volt 2 acquired March 2023
Only been given minimal use since purchase, first impression was well constructed built like the preverbal brick ****house, feels solid when picked up and the various controls all rotate smoothly, push button switches latch on/off smoothly also. All in all seems good, now to the negative comments. Software may be a good deal but has such complicated installation procedures and are all separate entities there-by making this a troublesome task, myself ! I have given up and will not use them, you would have thought that Universal Audio should have heard of, and adopted, Plug and Play technology that is out there. Not using Ambleton Live 11 Lite although have got it installed on computer, I favour Audacity being a free to use software and a less crammed workstation. Nett result , is Volt 2 worth it's price tag, in my opinion No it is Not value for money as Software let it down !!!

Customer support? What a joke
My interface was great for the first three months. Then it took a dump, rendered my Ableton DAW unable to function or recognize the interface, as well not one of my standalone's wanted to work with it either. So, being within the warranty period, I called on UNIVERSAL AUDIO FOR HELP. HAHAHAHA I did all they asked me to do until this one tech asked me to run some diagnostics which caused my computer to crash, and hard. I had to call Microsoft, who helped me put back the pieces of my tower, in order to try and retrieve all the data I have been collecting for home recording. I explained this situation to Dan, a tech Supervisor, who said either you work with us and try and troubleshoot the device or youre on your own. Really? Why would I want to take that chance again? Right because I'm crazy, maybe the outcome will be different this time and the whole thing would be destroyed. UA cant send for the device and fix it at their shop? He then starts throwing those deeply hidden suggestions that a customer may go looking for, but how are we to know that these anomalies exist? I should be wary of usb ports made by AMD, dont use this, that, or any simple element designed to do a basic function because Volt 2 won't play well with them. Are you kidding? I know that there are a few different types of usb ports, but this device I have, because they wont honor the warranty its still on my desk making sure the furniture behaves, which worked so well and was so easy to use got its ass kicked by a usb port! Anyone can make an account and look for themselves what componenets are compatible with the volt line., he divulged in a patronizing email. Yeah, Dan, any day of the week that ends in "Y". Who, tell me buddy, is gonna think of that? There is no warning on the box, there is no warning on the setup videos, or on any of the limited paperwork the consumer is going to have readily available. Plus, I imagine its in the minds of the UA techs that the rest of the world knows exactly how these work, every nuance, every screw and soldering. No dude, many of us went to school to learn to play music, became involved in entertainment, or even had children that would one day invest in your product so that you can enjoy the position you are so proud of now. I just read your disclaimer about the lack of interest your corp. has about reality, how anything but praise will be deleted. That's ok, I know what I know, and cut and paste is a wonderful tool.

simple handling and sounds good for a good price
A good interface, good sounding, not complicated in handling with the vintage mode, which gives your sound a nice touch of overtones. And it looks nice and modern and solid.

Volt 2
This interface has worked flawlessly for me so far. I've had no issues at all. I''m using Cakewalk by BandlLabs with "0" latency. I use a Yamaha EW300 keyboard, a Rickenbacker bass. Epiphone 500 MCE acoustic guitar, a Lanikai ukulele and a MXL900 microphone; all with no problems whatsoever. My computer is a desktop HP with a AMD Ryzen 3 5300G with 8 GB of ram. I am also using emVoice with this software and hardware. I have no complaints.
K. Stanley
Awful
I couldn’t get this to work properly and had to return it. Choppy audio, dropouts, does not play well with other interfaces and seems to only want to use its own asio drivers. Kept crashing my DAW and would not load. Awful.

great audio interface sound clean sound
R. Griffin
Definitely better than my Behringer...
Still getting used to it, and it took a minute to get it to talk to my DAW (Reaper) ONLY because I had it plugged into a multi-in USB instead of directly. Once, I went direct into my comp, I could go into my multi-in USB hub. I haven't done much with it yet, but it seems solid and i am getting the hang of it. -=80)

excellent price quality
Excellent product quality price, the best in its category. The inside vintage compressor is powerfull, great sound quality and sturdy case.

This thing sounds great! (with a few complaints)
I needed a stereo interface and didn't have much money. I was just about to go for the Scarlet 2i2 until I discovered the Volt 2. I listened to a lot of comparisons between the two and the Volt was the clear winner. It's about $20 more, but well worth it!
I use it for tape and vinyl record transfers, and as a better playback DAC. The Volt 2 sounds great, and essentially flat to about 18,000 kHz. It's dead silent and has a very low noise floor and great decibel range. What else can I say except that everything sounds correct! Absolutely perfect for my needs. There's the Apollo class converters, but, why this little powerhouse isn't billed as professional is beyond me. It sounds like it. It has a wonderful analog sound.
My only problems with it is that the line out monitor gain is quite low, and, though I installed the AISO drivers, I can't seem to use them in my Windows 10 computer with any of my software or playback apps. And, I can't get it to record at anything higher than 44.1 no matter how many system settings I change. I can playback with anything, but the only program I can get to record with it is Sound Forge. It's a hassle to record everything in SF and import to iZotope RX, my preferred DAW. Also, the meters are useless.
I don't need the bundled software, and their implementation of the iLock system is aggravating. I don't really need the vintage modes, as I haven't found any use for it yet.
I have seen complaints about RF noise from a couple of people, but my unit is dead silent and tests as advertised on my gear.
But, the bottom line is that it sounds great and was money well-spent.S. Vandekerckhove
Almost perfect, but some comments out of love
I'm an absolute novice, so the target audience for this device. It does look good, you can plug in instruments and use it for output. The vintage and instrument button change the guitar sound, which is nice. The small LED meters work just fine.
Still two things bother me and should be reconsidered:
1. The software is terrible: Ableton crashes often on a MBA M1, and there are too many VSTs included with a cumbersome installation process and taking up all your disk space - plus the user experience with those virtual knobs is terrible. I was simply looking for good piano samples, but no luck! Complicated synths and funky bass yes, but if you want clean sounds, it's not included or maybe I just don't find it between the junk.
2. I bought the Studio Pack at a discount, which was really good value. The mic and headphones included are perfect to get started. However: there is no information about their specs anywhere. Considering the resemblance to the 80 USD Mackie EM91C microphone and 30 USD MC100 heaphones, you basically pay the full price for unspecified extras you could have bought separately, and that should just have been spelled out.
If you have such a neat device, why trouble the experience by overdosing plugins, bad software and adding unbranded extras? A bit more Apple-logic, keeping it simple and clean, so that it "just works", would make the Volt 2 perfect.
