S21+ Bottom Speaker Not Working Since Updates... Why?!

[GregS21pluss]

The media speaker (bottom speaker) has suddenly stopped working here & there throughout the day & everything will play through the ear piece on my S21+5G. Resetting it usually fixes the issue. 

This has been since One UI 4.0 update. I don't want to reset my phone 10x a day, what do i do?

Bro try turning off mono sound in settings>accessibility>hearing enhancement>mono. Id recommend turning that on, then turn your phone horizontally and change the left/right ear balance slider. I mean its temp till this is fixed

I've tried all of the suggestions in this thread - and then some.  No joy on my wife's S21 FE.

Has anyone tried a factory reset?  Did it help?

Factory reset did not resolve the issue with my S21 Ultra. This has been almost a year and I'm really aggravated.

We ended up replacing the phones when we got a phenomenal offer.  

I never did find a good solution, and the sales person at our local store said they had never heard of such a thing.  Because, of course not.  

No, they didn't get the sale. Their knowledge about the phones on sale was lacking.

I just hope this doesn't come again on our new devices (S23 Ultra).  Or, if it does, they are still in warranty.

Any Solution?
Samsung just ignores me!

My Note 21 Ultra had the same problem, but it was fixed by following these steps:

Go to Settings > About phone > Software information > Google Play system update.

Tap Restart now to install and use the latest updates.

Thank you! The power restart fixed mine

Mine stopped working too. Any update on your bottom speaker?

[techymomof6]

Nothing fixed mine, turned out moisture got into the speaker and it was toast.  Needed just a speaker replacement on the bottom.

My phone screen was replaced last week so I assumed that it will work with no problem. But not I noticed that the bottom speaker don't work
