How to Fix Samsung Galaxy A56 Call Volume Too Low

If your Galaxy A56 makes it hard to hear the person on the other end of the line, it can be frustrating. Low call volume is a common problem, but the good news is there are several ways to fix it.

Why Your Galaxy A56 Call Volume Might Be Too Low

  • The in-call volume is set too low.
  • Dirt or debris is blocking the earpiece speaker.
  • Bluetooth devices or headsets are interfering with audio.
  • Software glitches or outdated firmware.
  • Sound settings misconfigured or enhanced features disabled.

Adjust the In-Call Volume.

Sometimes the issue is as simple as the call volume being set too low. Call volume is separate from media and ringtone volume, so adjusting one does not fix the other.

  1. Make a call, and then press the Volume Up key on the side of the phone.
  2. Keep pressing until the in-call volume slider is at its maximum level.

Clean the Earpiece Speaker.

Dust and dirt can block the small earpiece grill, causing muffled or low sound during calls. A quick cleaning often restores clear audio.

  1. Use a soft, dry toothbrush or a small brush to gently clean the earpiece at the top of the phone.
  2. You can also use compressed air to blow away debris, but avoid spraying too close to the speaker.

Disconnect Bluetooth Devices.

If your phone is connected to a Bluetooth headset, earbuds, or car audio, the sound may route there instead of the earpiece. Disconnecting will ensure calls use the phone’s built-in speaker.

  1. Open Settings, and then tap Connections.
  2. Tap Bluetooth, and then turn it off or disconnect paired devices.

Enable Hearing Enhancements.

Samsung includes accessibility and sound enhancement options that boost call clarity. Turning these on can improve volume and clarity.

  1. Open Settings, and then tap Accessibility.
  2. Tap Hearing enhancements, and adjust the settings like Amplify ambient sound or Use hearing aid support.

Update Software.

Outdated software can sometimes cause audio issues, including low call volume. Updating ensures you get the latest fixes.

  1. Open Settings, and then scroll down and tap Software update.
  2. Tap Download and install, and follow the prompts if an update is available.

Reset Sound Settings.

If nothing works, resetting sound settings can remove any misconfigurations that might be affecting call audio. This will not delete your personal data.

  1. Open Settings, and then tap General management.
  2. Tap Reset, and then tap Reset all settings. Confirm your choice and restart the device.

Low call volume on the Galaxy A56 usually comes down to volume settings, Bluetooth interference, or dirt in the earpiece. In most cases, a quick adjustment or cleaning solves the problem.


FAQs

Why is my Galaxy A56 call volume low only in certain places?

This can happen in areas with poor network coverage. Weak signal affects call quality and volume.

Does using a case affect call volume?

Yes. Some bulky cases can partially cover the earpiece, reducing sound quality. Removing the case during calls can help.

Will a factory reset fix call volume issues?

It might if the problem is caused by software, but you should try simpler fixes like cleaning the earpiece or updating software before doing a full reset.
