I see the same thing, some of the time.  I haven't really felt like
pulling out the scope to test whether my sound card distorts at maximum
volume (it's just one with line level outputs, not speaker power
amplifier outputs), or if I'm overdriving the input stage of my speaker
system (turning the speaker's own volume down doesn't help, but then
there could be a stage or two before the volume control).
