Any Amazon Music users having sound quality issues with iOS 16? I realize the app still needs to be updated post iOS 16, so maybe that'll solve it. But the sound quality is... cramped... that's the best way I can describe it. Playing the same song in Amazon Music and Apple Music is like listening to it on a single bluetooth speaker (Amazon) vs a full surround sound stereo system (Apple).

Both were playing downloaded HD versions of the same songs. Amazon's loudness normalization is also disabled. Plus, before I updated it sounded fine.

Not a huge deal as I'm sure (hopeful?) it will be fixed with an app update. Just wanted to throw it out there.

I did stream Amazon music on my phone last night, however and I got this alert on my watch. No sound issues, though.

I figured out what mine was. I had a handful of frequently listened-to songs that Amazon was trying to play in Dolby through bluetooth (either my car or Airpods). These songs weren't an issue before the update, so maybe there is still something iOS 16 related causing the issue. But as soon as I turned off Dolby, they sounded normal again.
