A11+ audio quality after OneUI 8.5

Hello,

What happened to audio quality after OneUI 8.5 update on my tab A11+? Did some codec change? The system audio is worse than it was before, more "hard" and unpleasant for the ear. Dolby Atmos used to make the audio softer, but now it hardly does anything. To explain better, it feels like there's some kind of clarity layer being forced on top of the audio.

Restarting my tablet or restoring factory settings did not help. Hopefully the issue can be looked into soon, I'd still like to keep enjoying music during my travels.
