Note 20 ultra Bluetooth volume low

[nickname16]

Has there been a fix from Samsung for the ridiculously low Bluetooth volume issue.

Brutal.

Earbuds are so low, can barely hear a thing while on the treadmill.

Tried every volume setting in the phone I think, including the absolute volume disabled in developer options, to no avail.

Help please.

Try Good Lock's Sound Assistant, and check the settings in it.

You shouldn't have to do anything in Dev Options for the volume on your BT buds, but I would think that any volume issues may be the buds themselves, not necessarily the phone.

Ear buds, Bluetooth adapter, Bluetooth speakers, etc, etc.

Is that an app in the device already?

[RedDogRabbit]

It's not pre-installed, but it is a Samsung App, both Good Lock and Sound Assistant are Samsung Apps.

Thanks, where do I get those? Can't find on playstore.

I've used the buds pro and the buds pro 2 on my galaxy note 20 that I refuse to  throw away because it's the last note with an SD card slot. Every pair of Samsung buds that are paired with this device, sounds like ***. And this is my second Galaxy Note. The first was locked to T-mobile. This is very frustrating because the problem is not as pronounced with my Galaxy S 24 ultra.

What type of Bluetooth headphones are you using?

Galaxy buds

I just tested my Galaxy Buds, Galaxy Buds+ Galaxy Buds Live and Galaxy Buds2 with my Galaxy Note 20, played a playlist from Spotify while having my compressor on in my garage and I have to say with noise cancellation on the Buds Live or Buds2 I could barely hear the compressor. Music was also coming out clean crisp and loud.

So I know you have checked the phone volume. Have you checked your equalizer settings on the Wearables App? Something doesn't seem right as some of my buds are from 2019 and still work no issues ...

Yes, have checked that. It's not just wearables though. This particular instance that brought it up is through a Bluetooth cassette adapter.
I have another one that I have the usbc to stereo adapter for and when hardwired same thing.
It's the phone as it relates to devices.
