It seems the consumers’ concerns haven’t reached the company so far. Users are waiting for the next update for their Verizon bounded Galaxy S21 smartphone which will be the July 2022 security patch. We hope that the company will acknowledge this problem and release a fix alongside the July 2022 update as soon as possible.
Further, the issue has reportedly occurred in the vanilla Galaxy S21 while there has been no problem in the voice calling on the other two high-end Galaxy S21+ and Galaxy S21 Ultra. However, if you are facing the issue, you can feel free to tell SammyFans in the comment section.
It should be mentioned that the Galaxy S21 June update that has a call quality issue holds the One UI build version G991USQU5CVF1. We suggest, if you haven’t yet downloaded it on your phone, wait for a few days for the carrier to release the July 2022 security patch.

After installing the One UI 6.1.1 update, several Samsung Galaxy S23 users have noticed a drop in audio quality, especially with Dolby Atmos. Users reported that the audio now sounds “tinny and washed out,” which used to be a clear and rich sound before the update.
At first, Samsung denied there was a problem. However, as more and more people reported the same issue, Samsung finally acknowledged that something was causing the issue.
Samsung has explained that the issue was caused by a change in the Dolby Atmos software. The update moved from Dolby Atmos version 3.10 to 3.12. This update was intended to enhance the 360 Audio feature. Unfortunately, it also affected the overall sound quality, which some users found disappointing.
Further, the Korean tech giant has mentioned that the new audio tuning may sound less clear or less punchy compared to what users were used to with the previous version of Dolby Atmos.
Samsung confirmed that it has communicated the issue to Dolby and is actively working on a fix. The two companies are working together to release an updated version of the Dolby Atmos library to fix the issue.
Users were expecting that the issue would be solved in the November 2024 security update, but so far, that hasn’t happened. Samsung has not yet given a specific date for when the fix will arrive, but they are aware of the issue and are working on a solution.
In the meantime, Galaxy S23 users who are experiencing the audio issue are advised to stay tuned for future updates that may address this issue.
