The sound of our mobile is a fundamental part to achieve a good experience. We spend the day watching or recording video, or listening to music. The sound is therefore so important that the related failures can end up making us desperate. Samsung mobiles are not free from sound problems , but luckily, we have a wide range of solutions for which problem.
Today’s mobiles have focused on offering better sound. It is easy to find stereo speakers, advanced sound technologies or high power, in many models on the market. As we say, none, whatever the range, is exempt from suffering sound problems at some point. Let’s see what tools we have to our deposition, so that our Samsung sounds again as before.
If you hear too low
It is one of the most common problems in our Samsung mobile, and that of other brands. An excessively low volume can seal the experience almost the same as if nothing were heard. Sometimes it may be that the speaker of our mobile does not have enough power, but if before it was heard correctly and with power and suddenly it stopped, it is clear that we will have a problem.
Check the volume
Not to be overlooked with the naked eye may seem like a no-brainer. There are not a few users who complain about a sound problem having low volume. On occasions that we have seen before, we must make sure that the volume is at maximum. If in that case we have ensured that the volume of notifications, alarms and multimedia is at maximum, we will have to keep looking for the error.
Remove the cover
We are facing one of the most common causes. Samsung’s mobiles are so famous that there is a legion of accessory manufacturers in the form of cases or covers. When these are of poor quality, we risk damaging the sound power. Sometimes the speaker holes are not cut out enough or may be insistent. The ideal is to remove the cover and check if it is heard again at the volume of before.
App to enhance sound
It is also possible that our mobile phone may not give more, or over time the speaker may have deteriorated. In that case it is time to “ask” for help from a third-party app. One of the most popular is GOODEV , which allows us to enhance the sound of our Samsung mobile. Once downloaded and installed we will have to modify the volume control bars to our liking, until we reach the desired level.
Clean the speaker
The dirt accumulated in the speakers for a long time, is another of the most common causes of why it sounds so low under our Samsung. In that case we will have two options, the first is to clean it, using a brush that is clean and dry. We can also do it through an app, which will maximize the volume of the speaker and expel the possible accumulated dust very effectively. We leave you just below with the link to download this app on Google Play.
Could it be malware?
The question has an easy answer, yes it may be malware. If malicious software has broken into our mobile, it is possible that it interferes with the volume permanently, in addition to other system permissions. In this case we will have to take a look at the latest installed apps entering Safe Mode , in order to intercept the possible causing software. To do this we will have to follow these steps:
- Press the phone off button for a while
- Wait for shutdown and restart options to appear
- Hold down the power button for a while until an on-screen pop-up appears
- Press accept to restart the phone in safe mode
Nothing is heard
It is a more extreme case if possible, since all the sounds of our mobile are canceled. We don’t hear calls, notifications or messages. Nor can we hear sound from applications such as YouTube or games that we have installed. In this case we can also find several solutions.
Do not disturb mode activated
Our Samsung phone, like other Android phones and even Apple iPhones, have a powerful Do Not Disturb mode. And we say powerful because this mode blocks any type of notification or sound until we tell you otherwise. If enabled, it will be causing the problem. We can check it from the top icons, next to the time, or even in the quick functions menu of the taskbar. If it is activated we only have to press to count all the sounds again.
Speaker yes but Bluetooth no
The mobile phone may have sound as normal, but nothing can be heard when we connect it to a Bluetooth device. There are many variables that can cause this error, but the best result solution is to perform a network reset, which in turn will delete all records of Bluetooth connections. To do this we go to Settings / Reset Network Settings. The method is performed in seconds and the problem may very well disappear.
Hands free connected
It is very common that after leaving the car where we have had the hands-free of our Samsung mobile connected, it stays connected for a time until the automatic disconnection occurs. During this process, our mobile phone may not ring when receiving calls or playing multimedia content. The solution is as simple as swiping down the taskbar and disabling Bluetooth.
It is heard with poor quality
It is an equally irritating reason. In this case you can hear and hear something, but the sound quality is not up to scratch, or we can see that it was much better before. This may be due to a hardware error, which may require replacing the speaker. But before reaching this conclusion, we can do several preliminary tests to try to solve the problem.
Activate Dolby Atmos
Many Samsung mobiles are compatible with this technology, which greatly improves the sound quality. In addition, the most recent models of the brand, from the Galaxy S9, have the Dolby Atmos option available for use with headphones as well as the built-in speakers in the phone. To activate it we will have to go to “Settings” and open “Sounds and vibration”. Then we tap on “Effects and Sound Quality” and slide the switch to activate the “Dolby Atmos” option.
With a Samsung app
We are facing a solution that has been devised by Samsung itself, for those users who are not satisfied with their mobile. Unlike the option that we will see later, this application is only compatible with Samsung mobiles. Among its main functions, it has 150 volume levels and support for floating equalizer and can manage the volume of the applications individually. It also has mono audio support and left / right balance. We will also have advanced options to improve quality such as Surround mode.
A third-party app
When the time comes, another solution is to download a third-party app that offers more sound customization options and a powerful equalizer. One of the best is Boom that we have already told you about on other occasions. This app features a custom 16-band equalizer and 29 presets including 3D surround sound that will enhance the movie or music experience. Also, it has a simple interface and settings for popular music programs like Spotify or Deezer.
