Chosen Solution
Suddenly there is no sound coming out of my phone. I checked for “do not disturb” mode, any Bluetooth connected devices (and turned it off), and even went a step further and disabled my assistant app. I checked #0# for the speaker, and it didn’t work. Through Samsung Members app I did an interactive check and then it showed that my “in-call speaker” is working but not my “media speaker”. I tried to connect my headphones through the AUX jack and it didn’t work as well. From various support forums, I found out that similar problem is present with other users of A50 which leads me to think that the issue is a software problem, especially that it happened suddenly!
Any suggestions about how to resolve the issue, or at least, make sure that it is a software issue not a hardware one? (without resetting my phone).
I appreciate your answer brandon k. The issue was resolved in a funny way, I turned on vibration mode, then restarted the phone again (just like I did for 20 times earlier), when I switched from vibration back to sound on it worked.
Software bullshit like this is what urges people to make conspiracy theories about the manufacturer.
Try force rebooting your phone. Hold the power and.volume button for 7-10 seconds. Phone will vibrate and then reset. This may fix it. You can also try this if that fails: Activate the developer option in your Samsung Galaxy A50 first by going to Settings > Phone, and tap the seven-time build number. When allowed, go to the Developer option and scroll down to get the Media option. A’ Prevent USB audio routing’ option will be noted there. Switch on the switch by toggling this option. See of that works.
Install custom rom (Pixel Experience 12.0) and Mint Kernel. Root the phone. If it stops making sound, follow these steps: Put on vibrate mode. Restart. Turn off vibrate mode. It worked this way for me.
So I did this, hard reset ( hold volume down and power key) also in Vibration Mode. The phone shuts down, still holding the power button, when samsung logo turns up, hold volume down, it will enter safe mode. Then turn off safe mode which will restart the phone again. I hope this helps because I just tried
Nothing is working but loud speaker, can hear phone ring now though help
This phone is indeed a problem and samsung seems not to have a clue of what happened in their design. What a failure
