Is your favorite guitar solo not as crisp as you’d like? Does the singer seem muffled? Are the synths sounding a bit odd? Try adjusting your Audio Quality.
The Deezer app gives you four levels of audio quality to choose from, whilst Deezer on desktop gives you three levels of audio quality to choose from. These are measured in kilobits per second; the more kilobits you have, the better your sound quality.
