Lets start with my back ground.

I write, record, and mix my own created music using studio quality software and flat response audio equipment. 

The audio of the S25Ultra via USBC to my vehicle Audio system is very muddy. All of the mid to high frequencies fidelity is cut off and your 250 and 500 are brought way to forward. This makes them interfere with the fidelity of the other frequencies that are making it through.  Also the blocking of using the base sliders while using headphones or USBC is really confusing. 

None of the various options in the menus resolves this lack of fidelity and muddiness. I have tried various USBC audio specific cables with the same result. I do not use blue tooth because blue tooth in general has audio quality consistency issues.

I also have an S20TAB that plays the music perfectly through the USBC cable. No adjustments were ever made to alter the audio in that device.

If the phone is attempting to "fix" or "enhance" audio by default please stop this. I have noticed in the past that many attempts at preprocessing audio enhancements destroy audio quality. Please allow for a flat play through.

If you do all of that then you should know that you can download a free application called sound beautifier on the Android Market that will increase your audio enhancement.

Yes, that may be, but I believe the point that OP is making is that when you pay top dollar for a flagship device, this type of thing shouldn't be happening. Your information is good to know, though.

It's not happening at all. He's just not utilizing his sophisticated advice properly. Well sure it should come with its own audio enhancements, a third party enhancement is going to be more dedicated to the enhancement then it will be the flagship device being sent out, just like that of a PC. Mobile devices are just a smaller version have a PC with a different type of codex. If they're able to create such studio quality music and sounds, then they should be highly aware of this fact. I don't believe them and I believe that they're just fronting. The fact of the matter is, all you need to do is download a free app called sound beautifier and then if you're so worried about ads and your applications use dns.adguard.com

He's also probably not even using developer mode and if he is he's not using it correctly. He probably doesn't even have like debugging on or anything. I'm certain that the last time that he's gone through and done the proper updates other than a system wide update it's been a long time ago. His post should not exist.

No, you're wrong. All he's saying is there should be NO equalization or manipulation of the signal at the usb c connector, if that's how he adjusts the phone settings. And he's right.

If I'm so wrong then call the police, lol. Or at least pick up a dictionary and learn the difference between correct and wrong. I am far from wrong, and I am correct. You have brought nothing to the discussion and have corrected nothing. You've simply just tried to insult and nothing more. The issue that the op is facing is one of their intellectualism. The developers and manufacturer of the product are also going to tell you the same thing. Start utilizing your device more efficiently and stop being so ineffective and you won't have these issues. And you should take your emotion and go see cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapy and pick yourself up a $2 dictionary at Dollar General.
