Galaxy S22Greetings,
This is a PSA post for users who have speaker issues after traveling via an airplane. After my recent travels, I seem to have this issue & have found a fix.
The speakers (including the in ear) don't work as intended right after a flight. I've faced this issue twice now and my solution has been to simply remove the SIM card tray and the S-Pen.
It seems to be a pressure related issue which doesn't allow the speakers to work as intended after altitude or pressure change. It doesn't happen after every airplane journey but only on certain routes.
I'd also like for Samsung to review this and get back.
P.S. - The phone was in perfect working condition before the flight (in ear and speaker). It stopped working after landing. (Tashkent to New Delhi)
Hope this helps.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Galaxy S22I have had the same issue with the A52s after a plane flight.
The solution seems simple enough: pull the SIM card tray and push it back in.
Apparently the phone is hermetically sealed, so it meets the waterproofing requirements. When the pressure is lowered, as in an airplane, the seal "pops" and then both the speaker and earpiece don't work well. By opening the SIM tray, you break the seal and the pressure inside the phone normalizes and then the speaker and earphone work all right.
The cracking and muted sound are only on the components of the phone, and do not impact a Bluetooth connection, so it is not a software or electronics issue. It is only a mechanical problem because of the difference in pressure inside the phone and outside the phone. Pulling the SIM tray out is enough to rebalance the pressures.

Galaxy S22I just turned the phone off, took the S-Pen out along with the SIM card tray and I put them right back in, and voila! It was back to normal.
