Driver
Compared to my previous Focusrite sound card, the driver is very awful, and when I set it to 2048, it snorts, but it works well on 1024. Please pay more attention to the Volt driver update.

great with MacBook Air
Compact, simple, easy to use. Great sound quality. The condenser mic surprisingly good for the price. Worked immediately with Logic Pro.
I. Anisimov
Convenient, easy to setup and great quality device.
The interface works so good, that musicians around me just started buying this interface one by one seeing the performance, attractive appearance and easy setup. Great device for a small studio or musicians on the go. Thanks, UA!

Volt 2 is all I need at the moment
Chose it over SSL & Audient cause of midi I/o and the free AU plugins and I’m happy with all. Volt is as transparent and quiet as I need with low enough latency to happily rehearse through Ableton as a mixer. The plugins alone are worth way more than the price of admission. One of my better purchases thankfully.

Beautiful sound
Nice preamps, well build, clear sound. It's actually my second volt and I eventually upgrade to the 476.

So far, exceeding expectations!
Recently picked up the Volt 2 for remote recording and audio capture for streaming. The preamps are clean with loads of headroom. The vintage setting is subtle but lovely. Can't wait to really put it through more paces.

Good Audio interface. Poor software
I ended up buying the Volt 2 because of the UA plugins. Till this day I HAVEN'T been able to download ANY of them. UA Connect (the program you need to download DRIVERS and plugins) stoped working the day I bought the Volt 2. Apparently this is a common problem and won't work in any PC or Mac I tested. UA Connect needs fixes ! Support is not giving me a solution.
The audio is great and has better "glue" in the mix compared to other interfaces, that's it.

Volt is the new standard in this price range
As 40 years experienced audio engineer, I got nearly all devices in the $200 range in the studio. The sound quality of the Volt2 is outstanding. UA gave me a LUNA for Mac for free and I'm in sound-engineering heaven. Full transparent sound and not the muffy mid range like in a Focusrite.

Volt 2
Build quality is top notch. Smooth knobs and switches. Box has a 'timeless look'. No issues with Win10 computer, MIDI keyboard, Mic or DAWs recognizing and working flawlessly. For a first timer setting-up a small 'studio' this was all very much appreciated.
M. Cusano
Sounds Great
I recorded guitars mixed with software instruments and some plugins and the final mix sound really great, warm, with nice lows and great midrange.
Great for the price and versatility.

Classy looks, great machine!
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.

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.

driver win64
I encountered some latency problems and intense work with the drivers for win 64. My pc is not very powerful but with drivers from other companies I've never had problems.

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.
