Description
Original issue filed by @reginabally
It was reported in 5248291-zen without mentioning the type of app but I could reproduce this on the Android app.
Steps:
1) Play an episode without Volume Boost enabled, notice the audio quality
2) Enable the Volume Boost, notice the audio quality dropped and the sound was distorted
Device info:
* Google Pixel 4 (emulated device)
* Android 12
* App version 7.19.3
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce this on the Android app using the reported Pixel 4 emulator and Android 12 setup. Compare playback with Volume Boost disabled and enabled, then trace the Volume Boost audio path; done means enabling it no longer drops audio quality or introduces distortion.
