With a UI 8, Samsung is allegedly changing how we configure the “sound quality and impact” settings on our galaxy devices. Malevolent Note This interface appears differently when your phone or tablet is connected to a pair of galaxy buds, when it does not.

Samsung controls to limit them to the Galaxy Buds Manager or Galaxy Wareball apps dedicated instead of correct control in system settings for Galaxy Buds. Therefore, with a UI 8 beta, on the menu Settings> Sound and Vibration> Sound quality and impact When they are connected, it shows special control for earbuds.

In contrast, the same menu shows settings for the phone’s speaker (or any other audio device) when earbuds do not connect. This is essentially mean that audio settings are hidden for the phone speakers and when the earbuds – more especially, any version of the Galaxy Buds – is connected, it cannot be held.

In the most important changes, the update system-wide EQ settings only replace the Settings with 360-degree audio for Buds for Galaxy Buds and Dolby Atomos settings. Here is a comparison between a UI 8 (left) and a menu on a UI 7.

Change also eliminates “Custom EQ” settings for some users, as reported reddit By U/Dragoslash. We hope this is only a bug, as Android authority Contributor Zack Kev-Dennis Confirms that Custom EQ is still available with Galaxy Buds 3 Pro Connected.

While one can argue that this change streamlines audio settings on the Galaxy device running a UI 8, it can still be disappointing when many audio outputs are connected to the same Samsung phone.

We cannot immediately verify what happens when the speaker is chosen as an audio output, while the earbuds are still connected.

The update was told by Samsung through its Galaxy Buds Manager App (through X tipster Tarun Vats), To equal settings in classes.
