I watched it on US Gagaolala and US iQiyi, and the sound was mixed really weird like blowing out the speakers even when turned down.  Is this on all platforms? I read maybe the YouTube stream isn't affected, but can anyone confirm?

I have the same issue, I don't know what's happening

Me too!! I thought it was my headphones.. so I switched them.. changed the cord.. no matter what the audio was awful

I can confirm extreme audio distortion on iQiyi. It's in everything including the music.
