Audio sounds distorted on Music app

Audio on Music app (ver. 1.2.0.273) sounds distorted, like the computer speakers were damaged. I tried listening to the same files on other apps like Vox or QuickTime Player and the audio sounds fine.

The volume adjustment of the song I tested was set on "none" and I tried changing the EQ from "acoustic" to "none", and still sounds bad.

What's wrong with the app? how can I fix that?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.0
