Have you updated the firmware recently? If not, do so.
If you are having volume issues, you can adjust them with the following:
Adjusting the volume of individual pads:
-Press Voice.
-Then press Volume.
-Strike the pad you would like to adjust.
-Then use the + and - buttons to adjust the volume of the individual pad.
-To adjust another pad, strike that pad, and repeat step 4 above.
Make SURE the adapter is NOT a DC output adapter. You need 9VAC output at about 1000ma. (1 amp) Many people try to use "universal" dc adapters and they will NOT work with the DM5.
The sound on all the stock kits I found to be too low. What I did was create a custom kit and altered the dynamics of all the pads and cymbals - once you're in the dynamics settings, just hit the pads/cymbals the hardest you normally would and save that setting!
Come from the main outputs, probably labeled L/mono and R and connect those to your mixer for your audio system on either stereo mix input OR two two inputs that are panned opposite.. DO NOT connect this to a consumer type stereo system as you may blow the speakers or amp. Consumer stuff just isn't able to take output from music equipment such as this UNLESS the volume is kept very low.
1. The master volume control on the SR16 is at least half way up. Turn down the amp as needed. Running very low output of the SR16 and high amp gain is sure to get distortion.
2. Check power adapter is the original and is producing correct voltage.
3. Check that audio cable is high quality instrument cable and not consumer or speaker cable.
Buy the correct adapter that matches the voltage AND current requirements of the unit. MANY universal ones do not and the original MAY have built in filter that universal does not.
You MAY also need to do a factory reset on the unit.
The distorted and low volume output plus noise is usually caused by using the wrong power supply adapter. The Alesis SR-16 takes a 9V "A/C" supply not "DC". The A/C supply provides a negative voltage swing which wouldn't exist with a DC supply. So check and make sure you have 9V A/C output supply not DC.
