Hi,
I received the s21 Ultra last week and it seems that the front speaker, earpiece, is faulty. I hear crackling and muffling when I put the volume up to watch videos or listen to music. Even on a call I cannot understand what the other person is saying.
I am waiting on Samsung for this one. I doubt its a software issue I tried all the reset and etc but to no avail.

Hi, Nothing at all I applied for a refund. So annoyed with them as they don't have stock since Feb. I have been waiting since then. Very shameful for a company like Samsung. They had stock come in and go but were not bothered replacing my phone. They still have different colours available but apparently they cannot replace my phone with another colour. They must of made some interest on my money while they had it while the consumer (me) had no product.
Also the customer service is just useless don't even bother calling them. This is the UK im on about. Just get a refund if you have faults otherwise they would just mess around with you. No wonder people stay loyal to Apple, their customer service is top notch. Talking with experience with wife's iphone....

@h15_heo Just get a refund and look elsewhere if they don't replace your phone. Best option from what I dealt with.

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing this issue. Head over to your dial pad and type in *#0283#, then select “Start: RCV_1stMic” and speak into your phone like you’re on a call. Can you hear yourself talk, and is the playback clear? Furthermore, head to the Samsung Members app > Get Help > Interactive Checks > Speaker, and follow the on screen instructions. Are you able to hear the playback clearly for the in-call speaker? If not then there may be a problem with the hardware, in which case I recommend reaching out to our Help Desk on 0333 000 0333, or on Facebook or Twitter, where an advisor can arrange for the device to be inspected and repaired.

Mine is not as severe the one from the recordings, but is annoying enough.

I have same issue, my older device s9 plus is perfect ear speaker. And now s21 ultra has too poor sound quality when we calling to someone, can not understand who people speaking...
Big big big problem..
I think that It is hardware and design problem not a software side issue..
Samsung should replace device with fixing problem of every s21 ultra buyers..
