S8+ sound is garbage

[diegoaccord]

Hi are there any fixes for this that doesnt need root? Samsung must have some kind of EQ or visualization for the sound, because it gets much lower when I want to listen to music. No matter what you do, as soon as music plays the phone quiets, and I looked and saw old unresolved threads. Regretting this phone due to this issue.

Thanks

I do have some issues when listening to videos because of the single bottom firing speaker which usually pushes me to using earphones !

No sound problem here...

No maybe you dont think it sounds bad but there is auto-leveling which greatly reduces the sound level. Even if you install EQ apps and gainers, the phone overrides them. You'll hear it at the desired level for a SPLIT second before the volume nerfs again.

Have you tried equalization? One way to do that is through Google Play Music. You'll have the option of going to the advanced menu where you'll be able to make adjustments for each ear as well.

Atleast we got a headphone jack... I never use the speaker.. If there is someone in the room, I find it disrespectful and annoying to be playing sound out loud. Gs8 has Bluetooth 5 so if you want to blast music or something, get a Bluetooth speaker.

If it's Bluetooth to car system I'd visit my carrier asap. Not an audiophile but never had a problem with music using wired connection.

My Bluetooth to car is fine. I have no problems. It gets plenty loud, like loud enough for me to get a ticket for noise pollution if I turn it all the way up. Are you sure there's nothing wrong with the phone?

You didn't specify what you meant so that's probably why that poster thought you were talking about the speaker.
