Default replaced cabin filter but still have funky smell

Hi all. this is my first time to this site and i was wondering if anyone could help me out. I just got an 06 a4q s line and there is a funky smell coming from the vents when i turn the fan on without the ac. i replaced the cabin filter and it must have never been replaced. the old filter was black and weighed 5 times more that the brand new one that i got from the dealer. I still notice the smell. so does anyone have any clue as to what i should do next. i was gonna spray some fabreez into the box where the filter is but i didnt want to ruin anything.

The black one was prolly a carbon filter...?

What kind of smell are you getting?
