v72 Quest 3 Built-in Speaker Audio Quality Issue

[delusion256]

I noticed a huge decline in audio quality from the built-in speakers of my Quest 3 after the v72 update (PTC Build 5047332.15120.510). The bass frequencies are completely gone, the mids sound terrible and the treble is crackly. I'm hearing this from both left and right channels. The issue is resolved when using external headphones. Curious if anyone else has experienced this issue or if it's a hardware issue with my headset?

@delusion256 have you tried a factory reset on the headset to see if that has any effect on the sound quality?

I resolved the sound quality issue by removing the bottom speaker port dust covers which were impeding airflow of the drivers.

Ummmm..... drivers don't need airflow?
