Iโm currently running One UI 8.5 Beta and wanted to ask something specific about audio behavior with Galaxy Buds.
On my device, when I remove my Galaxy Buds, the audio only switches automatically during phone calls.
For media playback (videos on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, etc.), it either just pauses or stays connected to the Buds, and I still have to manually change the audio output to the phone speaker.
Some users mentioned that this switch happens naturally for them, so I wanted to ask the beta community:
๐ Is there any new setting, Labs option, or hidden behavior in One UI 8.5 that enables automatic media output switching when removing the Buds?
This works seamlessly on iPhones with AirPods, and it would be great to know if Samsung is testing or planning something similar in this beta.
To help us investigate further, please submit an Error Report through the Samsung Members app immediately after reproducing the problem:
1. Open Samsung Members โ One UI Beta Program โ Beta Feedback. 2. Select Error reports and attach any relevant screenshots or screen recordings (if available). 3. Make sure โSend system log dataโ is enabled before submitting.
Important: For accurate log collection, please submit the report within 3 minutes of reproducing the issue.
We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your support in helping us improve the Beta experience.
Just to clarify, the behavior I'm reporting is not a random bug, but rather a current system limitation related to media audio routing.
On my device, automatic audio switching works correctly during phone calls, but it does not occur for media playback (social media videos, video players, etc.). In those cases, the audio either pauses or remains routed to the Galaxy Buds instead of switching to the phone speaker when the earbuds are removed.
My report is intended to confirm whether One UI 8.5 Beta includes or is testing any form of automatic media output switching when removing earbuds, similar to what already exists for call audio or in other ecosystems, rather than reporting a specific malfunction.
I can provide logs if needed, but I wanted to confirm first whether this behavior is expected at this stage of the beta.
