I'm in heavily air conditioned environment with a carpet. If I accidentally spark the volume knob, the remote control setting goes nuts. If I attempt to change the volume via the remote the Mytek will automatically go to maximum possible volume! Good thing my tweets can take power. :)
The only way to fix it after this is to unplug the power, wait 30 seconds, and reset the remote settings.
You have a faulty unit, probably from the early production run. This fault could have activated after some time. I had the same problem and Mytek exchanged mine for a new one.
