[SOLVED] Airplay (both 1 and 2) dynamic range HEAVILY compressed

It's almost impossible to troubleshoot something like this unless you can provide a list of steps including the client app and music source you are using so that someone could try and reproduce what you are hearing.

Also reboot and then post the moOde startup log. It can be downloaded from the Logs section of System Config, printed via the moodeutl -l command or copied from the end of the System info report.

Hi! Thank you for the prompt response – I figured out the problem! I had a system-wide EQ (SoundSource) running, whose boost feature was accidentally enabled for all outputs! That's where the issue was coming from, but I stupidly didn't check for sources hidden in my menu bar 

Problem solved!
