Is there any way to disable SoundAlive / audio processing on Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge?

[AC Question]

Hi, I've got my shiny new Galaxy S7 Edge and I love everything about it... except the audio. I am getting distortion on my earbuds in the upper mids even at lower volumes. I feel like the sound has artefacts from processing and I'm uneasy about all the filters and effects that seem to be in play.

Welcome to Android Central! Is this when listening to any app, or only on Google Play Music? If the latter, try turning off the EQ in its settings.

Just go into the sound quality and effects menu to see if any of the options are turned on.

Obviously there's no option to do that or he wouldn't have asked.

I've got the same issue - has anyone found a solution?

Obviously if you'd look there is an option to do that Sean Sounds and Notifications, Sound Quality and Effects..... Hope that helps

I'm going to guess that you didn't actually click into that menu. There's no option to disable SoundAlive.

Has anyone found a fix yet! You can't force stop soundalive on the S9+ it keeps it playing. You need to disable it some how
