Howdy all, I have the S25 ultra and loving it. Coming from a Note10+ (upgrade long overdue) there are many changes for the good. But
2 changes that I can't seem to let go of is the bluetooth loudness (lack of) connection for my car and other devices and the audio DAC output sound quality is different, a little less capable in my opinion. I am an audio geek, (jamming to hard rock in the car (BT) and jazz and piano works elsewhere), wired connection into stereo gear in the garage, external DAC in the living room and computer room. As well as a totally separate 2 channel systems for the latter rooms. Not trying to brag, but to show my depth of caring of the sound quality and lack of money. Lol
 It is a hobby and a passion. 
I have searched the internet and phone for fixes but not much exists concerning these issues. The Note 10+ seemed to excel in these categories, I would have expected a substantial increase at least in audio quality at this point in the Samsung lineup/price and amount of time passed since the Note 10 for tech advances. The pen & Bluetooth and discontinued functionality is beyond my understanding, but that is another rant but not for now. I have performed all the required hoops & jumps, restarts, software, etc. It's still the same. 
I really do like this phone, the audio is really important to me. 
I am grateful for the excellent camera abilities (another hobby) I have a huge a appreciation for what they accomplished with this form factor. 

Anyways, any ideas? Comments nice ones of course, or suggestions - also polite if possible. 
Thank you for your time and help. Jim
