Why do I hear echoing/reverb while watching videos?

[mihael]

I have been using a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 for about half a year now and just recently I've encountered a problem where when I watch a video the audio echoes. This goes for all videos (on Youtube, Twitter, Instagram, the video app etc.). It just happened randomly. I checked if it was a malware problem or a sound aid setting and no luck. I have tried restarting the phone several times and it still happens. Does anyone else have a problem like this/know a solution?

Welcome to Android Central! Does this only happen on headphones, external speaker, or both?

Thanks! It happens on the external speaker but if I plug in my headphones while the video is playing then I hear echoing again. If I plug in headphones before playing a video then there's no echo.

Does it happen in Safe Mode? https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-36242

See if the sound is set to "Concert Hall". If it is turn it off.

Settings\Sounds and Vibrations\Advanced sound settings\Sound Quality and effects\Concert hall
