Tech fans usually look forward to the next update for their device in anticipation of what improvements or new features it might bring. We’d be less excited if updates risked downgrading our experience, but that appears to be the situation some Samsung Galaxy S23 owners are facing. It seems that the One UI 6.1.1 update has caused a noticeable degradation in sound quality on those devices, and Samsung has now acknowledged the issue.
As reported by SamMobile, some users on the Samsung community forum flagged the change in audio quality on the Galaxy S23 handsets following the update. Similar complaints were also made about the audio on the Galaxy Tab S9 series once the One UI 6.1.1 update was installed.
