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?

Ohhh!! Highly likely it just didn't get connected fully. They probably tested the sound and it worked from the one speaker and they didn't know to test the bottom one.  Just take it back, probably just a reconnect.

Thanks, power restart fixed if for me on my S21.

I have had this issue since I got the phone. It seems to be a problem with this model phone! It is not that my phone inparticular is a lemon. It is a fault of this cheaper model. Not only would the sound shift from ear speaker to bottom speaker, people would not be able to hear me, and my business calls got aborted as I was no longer heard. I would like to trade in this phone and get an upgrade.
