Samsung’s One UI 9.0 seems to have two volume-related bugs

Samsung’s latest custom Android interface, One UI 9.0 (Android 17), brings several new features. However, it also appears to have two bugs related to the volume panel. One displays incorrect audio output icons, while the other shows inconsistent volume levels. Both issues could confuse Galaxy users during daily use.

Starting with the audio output icon issue, some Galaxy users have noticed that their phones display a Bluetooth icon even when audio is playing through the built-in speakers (via Android Authority). Similarly, the volume panel shows a speaker icon instead of an earbud icon when Bluetooth earbuds are connected.

Although the bug doesn’t appear to affect audio playback, the incorrect icons could mislead users about where their audio is coming from. Fortunately, Samsung is aware of the issue and has already released a fix.

According to Samsung, Good Lock’s Sound Assistant app could be causing the problem. The company has asked affected users to update the app to version 9.0.00.11, which should resolve the issue. If the problem persists, users are advised to submit error logs to help Samsung investigate it further.

The second issue involves inconsistent volume levels. A Galaxy Quantum 4 user in South Korea noticed that the volume panel displayed a volume level of 80%, while the Quick Settings panel showed 81% (via SammyFans).

Samsung acknowledged the discrepancy and said its development team was aware of the issue. However, it hasn’t provided a timeline for a fix, as the problem requires further verification.

While both bugs are relatively minor, they highlight some of the issues Samsung still needs to address as it tests One UI 9.0. Hopefully, the company will fix them in a future beta update before rolling out the software more widely.
