https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S22/Galaxy-S22-Speaker-Distortion-and-Crackling/m-p/2232663#M12073 Thanks for posting your experiences. I just received my S22+ a week ago and am now gone on vacation . . . Didn't notice a sound problem until after I'd gotten off our first flight. The sound is completely awful now, crackling, static-y, and distorted. Can't play a YouTube video, notifications and ringtones sound awful, and I can barely hear anyone through the phone when they call.<BR /><BR />Not sure I can afford to return it even if I wanted to since I'm not home. [sigh]<BR /><BR />Hoping restarts will help. But it's not looking good so far. Thu, 31 Mar 2022 03:36:41 GMT Gennilyn 2022-03-31T03:36:41Z
