My Question or Issue

I have been experiencing an intermittent issue with the audio quality from Spotify. Initially I thought it was an issue with my device.

Issue details

Buzzing sound when listening to anything from Spotify. It sound like a tinny-ness that one might hear when putting an audio file through an old timey audio filter. The highs are scratchy and tinny. The lows seems to be unaffected by this. Regardless, the audio quality is very poor.

Issue Frequency

As of a few months ago it didn't happen very often. Though now it happens 49 out of every 50 times I plug in a pair of headphones.

Troubleshooting already Performed

Tried other music apps immediately after experiencing issue. No other apps exhibit the same audio issue.
Uninstalled Spotify in two different ways.
Tried other pairs of headphones, problem still present.
Audio via Bluetooth and audio from the speakers on the device are unaffected.
