Sound from laptop headphones quiet and distorted

I'm on an Asus ZenBook UX305CA and I am experiencing oddness in the
quality of music with headphones. Some sounds are quite loud and clear,
and other sounds are kind of distorted or it sounds like the sound is
recorded really far away from the microphone. Things sound fine through
the speakers. On top of that, in general sounds are not as loud as they
should be. I have to run at near 100% sound (putting it to 100% makes
it sound distorted like a if you max out a speaker, even though the
actual sound is not loud).
The only thing I've done is I have the following in my device.hints so
that pcm0 is both speakers and headphones and it mutes the speakers when
I plug in the the headphones:
hint.hdaa.0.nid33.config="as=1 seq=15"
I also turned the equalizer on for pcm0 in hopes that would help me fix
the issue, but no dice:
hint.pcm.0.eq="1"
The output of a verbose boot is below. This is from a verbose boot
prior to modifying device.hints, but the situation was no better.
Anyone have any suggestions on where to go next?
Thanks,
/Malcolm
