Thank you for reaching out, BloodyDemons. I can certainly understand how frustrating it can be when the sound doesn't meet our expectations. As someone who listens to music on their device regularly I understand the importance of having quality audio on our phones. There are several ways to troubleshoot sound issues if the speakers on your Samsung Galaxy device do not seem to be working properly. The issue could be caused by a software problem, physical damage or blockages, external device connections, or device settings. For example, if your phone is not playing sound, it could be connected to an external device that is redirecting the audio. Give these troubleshooting steps a try: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/troubleshooting-speaker-and-sound-issues-on-a-sams...

 

If you have tried all the troubleshooting steps provided and are still experiencing these symptoms I would recommend a service repair.
