Question Galaxy S8 speaker low

[Jcam]

Hey all. So my old Galaxy S8 now has low volume through the in-call speaker even when it's turned all the way up. My Mum gave me her old one and it has way more volume when turned up. Is there a setting that needs changing or a potential fix? I can't work out what the issue is with it.

Welcome.

This is an old phone, so a clogged speaker grill might not be unexpected. Check that first.

Welcome to Android Central! Also, is the volume normal if you use wired or Bluetooth earbuds?

Yeah, looking at it there's not a lot of dirt on it. The speaker is a thin bar at the top of the phone, not concave at all so no chance of just dust clogging it up. There's no other options I can see to increase the volume. I had a look at some other posts, no real ideas on how to fix it. Just similar problems.

Ok, and volume is normal when using wired or Bluetooth headphones?
