How to Fix Samsung Galaxy A36 Call Volume Too Low

If your Galaxy A36 has low call volume, even at maximum settings, it can make conversations difficult. This is a common issue that can happen for several reasons, and fortunately, there are multiple ways to fix it.

Why Your Galaxy A36 Might Have Low Call Volume

• The earpiece speaker is blocked by dirt or dust.
• Volume settings are not properly adjusted.
• Software glitches or outdated system software.
• Bluetooth devices interfering with call audio.
• Poor network signal affecting call quality.

Clean the Earpiece Speaker.

Dirt and dust can build up inside the earpiece over time, making sound muffled. Cleaning it often restores clear audio.

Use a soft, dry toothbrush or a can of compressed air to gently clean the earpiece area above the screen. Be careful not to push dirt further inside.

Check Volume Settings During a Call.

Sometimes, the volume might appear high in settings but remain low during calls. This is because call volume is adjusted separately.

While on a call, press the Volume Up key repeatedly until the bar shows maximum. This ensures you are adjusting the correct setting.

Disable Bluetooth Connections.

If your Galaxy A36 is connected to a Bluetooth headset, earbuds, or car audio, sound may route there instead of the earpiece.

Swipe down from the top-right of the screen to open Quick Settings. Tap the Bluetooth icon to turn it off, then check if the call volume improves through the phone’s speaker.

Update Your Phone Software.

Bugs or outdated firmware can sometimes affect sound performance. Keeping your phone updated helps fix these issues.

1. Open Settings, and then tap Software update.
2. Tap Download and install, and then follow the on-screen instructions if an update is available.

Use Safe Mode to Rule Out Third-Party Apps.

Some apps can interfere with audio functions, causing low call volume. Safe Mode temporarily disables them so you can test.

1. Press and hold the Side key and Volume Down until the power menu appears.
2. Tap and hold Power off, and then tap Safe Mode when it appears.

Make a test call. If the volume works fine, a third-party app may be the cause. Restart your phone normally to exit Safe Mode.

Reset All Settings.

If none of the above works, resetting all settings can help. This does not delete personal files but restores system defaults.

1. Open Settings, and then tap General management.
2. Tap Reset, and then tap Reset all settings.

Your phone will restart, and you’ll need to reconfigure Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. After that, check if call volume is back to normal.

Low call volume on the Galaxy A36 can be caused by something as simple as dirt in the earpiece or as complex as a software bug. Going through these solutions step by step should restore clear call audio.
