Suddenly there is no sound coming out of my A50. I checked for "do not disturb", any Bluetooth connected devices, and even went further and disabled my assistant app. I checked *#0*# for the speaker, and it didn't work. Through Samsung Members app I did an interactive check and then it showed that my "in-call speaker" is working but not my "media speaker". I tried to connect my headphones through the AUX jack and it didn't work as well.
From various support forums, I found out that similar problem is present with other users of A50 which leads me to think that the issue is a software problem, especially that it happened suddenly!
The issue was resolved in a funny way, I turned on vibration mode, then restarted the phone again (just like I did for 20 times earlier), when I switched from vibration back to sound on it worked.
Software **bleep** like this is what urges people to make conspiracy theories about the manufacturer.
