Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G.
Its a great phone but its audio output setup is very frustrating. When I connect my headphones (wired), shows connected but as soon as there is a wifi drop, switches back to my phone speaker output. If Im on train listening to something anyone can start to hear! 
How can that be fixed so it doesnt switch back and forth automatically? Please help if anyone had any luck with this
Thanks

No, its not damaged. Ive heard there was a bug in Samsung phones and had something to do with iHeart app. But this version doesnt have iHeart so im wondering whats causing that. If im at home where wifi stable, this doesnt happen. Only if wifi drops on road. I would like output to stay on headphones and not go to speakers when that happens

Does it happen to all apps? Like watching videos on gallery, youtube or listening to a music app.

Are you using bixby routines? In case you have any routine that triggers when wifi is off.
