As the title says, the sound output on the speakers of my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra have become extremely distorted after the One UI 8.0 update and this issue hasn't been fixed with any subsequent updates. Both high (tremble) and low (base) sounds make the top and bottom speakers crackle. These phones are too expensive for this to be such a long and ongoing issue.

Have you run diagnostics to see if it might be a hardware issue?

Yeah, I have. It was most likely a firmware/system issue as Verizon's most recent update (#39, 12/23/2025) seems to have resolved it. I'll let you guys know if the resolution is only temporary or intermittent.

Unfortunately, the problem has just gone from a persistent issue to an intermittent one. Samsung needs to deploy a targeted fix.
