Help Software/App-related Muffled Speaker?

Something really weird has been going on with my Droid X recently.

I noticed that my speaker sounds blown. I never have the volume up all the way, so I find it hard to believe it is hardware-related. Something that seems fishy to me is that the sound goes back to normal every once in awhile. In other words, it's muffled and sounds like garbage one day, and sounds perfect the next.

Has this ever happened to anyone else? I did a factory reset this evening and it seems to have temporarily fixed my muffled speaker. I am, however, worried that when I go to reinstall my apps, the problem will come back. I think it is being caused by a malfunctioning app.

If you've had this problem, please reply. I am going to try to narrow it down and figure out what app is causing it. It's driving me crazy!
 
Some have shot a little compressed air on the speaker and fixed that problem. I'm wondering if a piece of crap gets in there and messes things up.
