Samsung Galaxy A54 5G , I purchased a four plug charger off AliExpress and immediately when I plugged it in it kept telling me that this charger is not compatible with my cell phone, as I plugged it in and the second USB C port to see if it's going to get the same message I saw Spark in the charger, that was in the morning so I left the house came back in the evening only to have a different problem, as I plugged my phone in the original Samsung charger I had a message on the screen telling me that my phone is overheating, before I know it it's started shutting down certain functions such as the secondary speaker, I noticed that the battery is swelled up and lift it up the back cover, so I replaced the battery; after replacing the battery the phone did not want to start, I kept playing with it until it came back on and I wasn't sure if the motherboard cable was connected right, I simply opened it up few times to see if I could see anything wrong and before I know it it came back on by itself, then I kept getting this cracking sound in the speaker, so I thought the motherboard cable is damaged therefore I bought another one and installed it, the phone is working now and all functions are in it except the speaker intermittently keeps on cracking and the sound intermittently have an echo in it.I used the Samsung app to run function tests and everything seems to be as it should be and that is after I compare the test with my other Samsung A13, updating the software did not make any difference. I thought I'd ask all of you ladies and gentlemen and hopefully somebody have an answer before I start throwing Parts at it. thank you and have a very nice day .

@userb3jRz03R2P Sounds like the cheap charger caused a power surge, or something similar, and damaged your phone. There is no telling how many parts were damaged.

How to diagnose if the problem is in the motherboard or in the speaker you ask?
I thought about it and I came up with the idea of using Samsung Smart View, basically the sound does not crack and normal on Samsung Smart View watching it on the television this way the motherboard have been isolated as the source of the problem, looks like it's the speaker problem in which I have ordered new ones and let's see what happened, I'll keep you posted .
