Why is the right side volume of my Galaxy Buds low?

I’ve been encountering a persistent issue with my Galaxy Buds where the right earbud’s volume is significantly lower than the left. This imbalance is quite irritating and detracts from my listening experience, making it hard to enjoy music or any audio content. Initially, I thought the issue might be related to battery levels, but even after a full charge, the problem remains. I’ve tried various troubleshooting steps such as resetting the Galaxy Buds, reconnecting them, and cleaning them, but nothing seems to resolve the issue. The left earbud works flawlessly, but the right one continues to have low volume. I’m puzzled and unsure what the root cause might be.

Your problem may stem from clogged earbuds. Here’s how you can clean them:
1. Remove the ear tips.
2. Clean the ear tips and the mesh with a soft, dry cloth.
3. Use a small brush or cotton swab to clear debris from the mesh.
Reassemble and check if the volume improves. Regular cleaning helps prevent this issue.

It sounds like your Galaxy Buds might be having Bluetooth connection issues. Here’s what worked for me:
1. Turn off the Bluetooth on your device.
2. Place both Galaxy Buds in the charging case and close the lid.
3. Wait about 10 seconds before opening the lid.
4. Turn Bluetooth back on and reconnect your Galaxy Buds.
This can help reset the connection, potentially fixing the volume imbalance.

Try calibrating your Galaxy Buds to balance the sound:
1. Put both earbuds on.
2. Play some music at normal volume.
3. In the Galaxy Wearable app, go to ‘Sound’ settings.
4. Adjust the balance slider between the left and right until you achieve an even sound.
Rebalancing in this manner can sometimes resolve volume discrepancies.

Another possible reason could be outdated firmware. Firmware updates can resolve various bugs and enhance overall performance. To update the firmware:
1. Open the Galaxy Wearable app.
2. Navigate to ‘Earbuds software update’.
3. Check for updates and follow the instructions to install them.
This might balance the sound levels.
