[Q] Sound muffled when listening through headphones

Whenever I hook up my headphones to listen to any podcasts, talk show I get muffled sound through the headphones. If I disconnect the headphones and let it run through speakers, it sounds just fine.
Scenarios I ran:
- Listening to music from stored mp3's (128 kbps) are just fine and I can hear the lyrics and music alright.
- Streaming a talk/lecture, or netflix, sound (dialogues) are muffled.
Possibilities:
- Last week I had installed Volume+ and Equalizer and messed arround with them for a while and possibly these apps changed some SFX settings ?
- I may have accidentaly turned on the noise suppression feature (Not even sure if it is available)
How do I reset all my sound output ?
Thanks..

Update:
I found that it definitely had something to do with the sound fx apps that I had messed around with and later uninstalled. Some changes should be in effect even after I uninstalled them. So I reinstalled Equalizer and Volume+ and tried to undo everything I had done before. But nothing changed.
However, I found that equalizer app has a power button that enables some more effects (by default they are disabled) and are active only when they are selected and headphones are inserted. These settings were at 0%
- Bass booster
- Virtualizer (intensity)
- Reverb
I have moved everything to 100%, disabled these options again. And the muffled dialoges are GONE. Now these settings seem to stay at 100% but if I uninstall equalizer app, I am back to the muffled sound problem. These settings must be reset to 0%.
So I did find the solution but it is incomplete. I would still like to get rid of equalizer app (or any sound fx app) but reset the sound to default mode as it was before... Any suggestions ?

Remove those and try voodoo control app and dsp manager inside of dsp set the equalizer like the screenshots below

I've noticed the same. I had to go back into Google Keyboard and tone it down because it was too strong for me, in my opinion.

I had no idea google keyboard had settings.
The inline mic recording is improved, but is still at a lower gain than the handset mic.

My speaker for notifications is much louder now, as is my vibration. I Was one of the people who's vibration was so minimal I couldn't always feel it even when it was right against me but, after the 4.4.1 update, it's MUCH stronger.

[APP][3.0+][FREE] Another Bass Booster.

This is yet another bass booster for Android!
As there's a LOT of Bass Boosters on the PlayStore, i spent most of my attention on the look of the app as a lot of the other ones don't really look that nice so yeah, it's more visual than anything but don't get me wrong, it still does what it's supposed to, without any problems whatsoever.
If i had to warn you about anything, it's that, i don't know how it behaves on phone's with Custom ROM's.
The app consists of a slider for the BASS and a slider for the volume, so just like the others, you can adjust both the the volume and the BASS.
Also as a nice little touch, the higher the bass, the more of the headphones you see! the headphones also acts as a slider so you can control the bass with that as well.
So i guess in some ways, it's different to all the others
Enjoy!!
If you could leave a little rate and review to help move the app along, then that would be awesome, if you do and want a rate and review in return then just let me know.

It's also had an update today and will probably have a few more with in a few weeks.

You could have tried to create a sound mod or an equalizer... As you said there are many bass boosters on play store, plus this kind of software is stupid making the sound unbalanced. If you'd put all this care to visual detail into a decent equalizer you would get much many downloads. P.S. if your avatar is also the icon of the app you should change it. The way it's right now looks like you're boosting the mid frequencies

Well i already have an equalizer, i just fancied doing the bass booster after i had a little image in my head of what i wanted it to look like and quite a lot of people have said they wanted something to boost the bass on their headphones and although my equalizer has a bass booster, i thought some might like a bass and volume only app,.
Yeah with the avatar, i only really chose it because it was the only relatively decent image i could use at the time, i did have a feeling that someone would say something about it at some point :L I will change it some time soon though.
Thanks for the comment by the way

Trying on budget TCL A574BL ( Alcatel), Stock 7.1.2 Gives improvement that's needed though loudness feature not ideal. It's a hardware issue tho, so no need to tweak.
Ie: much. THANKS either way.

Simple and looks nice but I think the loudness slider is a little bit too sensitive - just a tiny movement gives such a huge change, could be damaging.
Had an issue where it got stuck turned on even after turning it off.

Nice ui, no bugs so far

Working Perfectly on my device specially the sound loudness with Viperfx sound loudness + Bass Boost + Other effect = Ka Booom
Device : Xiaomi Poco f1
ROM: Mi Globe 9.3.28
Root Magisk 19
Really Nice Job Dev for that Nice work looking donation on the way

Finally! been waiting for such app!

Hi. Trying to test on Nokia 6.1, but Play Store says "item not found". Any other ways to install?

Try xda labs. Works a treat, thanks.
No more driver problems with viper4android. Umidigi f1 play

I'm using since 1 month this app on my phone Le Eco Lex 720 with AICP 15 rom (Android 10). It works very well, I use Normal preset and circa 1/3 Loudness effect and the audio level is really boosted, clear, not distorted. Be careful using this Loudness control or your phone speaker (and hears!) can get damaged! This app is a MUST! Bravo!

Dead?

[Beats Audio] Equalizer without root

Hi people, this it's my first contribute for the poco community. I really miss Arise4Android but I don't want rooting my F1 (for now), whatever, searching for the better equalizer without root I found this app on a Moto G thread (¯\_(ツ)_/¯) and works well!!
FOCUS, the buttons don't got any animation, your only guide to know if it's running it's your ears (and the notification bar icon). I know, it's not the better option for increase the audio quality, but without root it's complicated found better options.
Tested on stable pie with my edifier oxygen earphones. Flat preset for me it's the best. Recommended lock it on recents and deactivate the battery saver for stay in background.

Thanks for the app, but this app just controls the built-in equalizer that you can easily adjust from "headphones & audio effects“ settings (image no.2) or from settings of any audio player such as Sony music (image no.1) or mi music player (image no.3).

Mmmm, i'm not sure for what, but in my poco the stock equalizer ever stay deadctive, Bluetooth or wired earphones, can't set anything and it's for that I'm looking every option as exist. Can be because I set Spain in region?

I also have the same problem with my POCOPHONE F1.
I'm in UK. Tried so many things to get a better equalized sound, but still no joy!
Grateful for any advice on how to get a better sound like with my previous old HTC ONE X with BEATS sound which gave a much superior sound than the POCO!

If you want better audio quality without root with Bluetooth earphones this it's the best option, if want equalizer with cable you can choose the Miui Equalizer, but if you want more volume download Goodev volume amplifier from Playstore.
