Why Does Samsung 5 Pro Keep Going on Mute

It’s annoying when the speaker on your Samsung 5 Pro smartphone stops working out of the blue. Whether you want to play audio via Bluetooth from your Samsung phone to your Samsung TV, it shouldn’t keep on going mute.

Finding the issue is like looking for a needle in a haystack with so many probable culprits to sieve through. When your Samsung 5 Pro keeps going mute, it could be anything from misconfigured settings to an incompatible third-party app. Below are troubleshooting tips to help you try and fix the problem.

Check first to see if dirt or debris is blocking the phone’s speakers
