Muffled audio has four common causes, and only three of them are fixable at home.
Crackling that changes with volume points one way. Crackling that is always there points the other.

Distortion at maximum volume is often the amplifier clipping, not the speaker failing.
Gradual volume loss in earbuds is almost always buildup rather than driver wear.
