Sound Assistant is Samsung’s official sound management app for Galaxy smartphones, designed to enhance your audio experience with powerful and flexible tools.
This essential utility gives you advanced control over your device’s volume, equalizer settings, sound output, and more—all packed in an easy-to-access floating interface. With features tailored specifically for devices running Samsung Experience version 8.5 and above, Sound Assistant transforms the way you interact with your phone’s audio.
Fine-Tuned Volume Control
Instead of adjusting the ringtone volume by default, Sound Assistant lets you change media volume when pressing the physical volume keys—a smart tweak for everyday use.
Per-App Volume Settings
You can set individual volume levels for each app. For example, keep your game volume low while your music app plays at full blast. This means no more sudden sound spikes when switching between apps.
Floating Equalizer & 150 Volume Steps
Enjoy 150 steps of ultra-fine volume control for precise adjustments. The Floating Equalizer (EQ) lets you tweak audio in real time without interrupting what you're doing.
Audio Output Switching
Switch an app’s audio output between Bluetooth, headphones, or speakers on the fly via the floating volume dialog. Great for when you need privacy or want to pump up the sound.
Custom Sound Profiles
Create and save personalized sound settings that match different situations—work, home, night mode, etc. You can even set them to activate automatically based on the time of day.
Mono Audio & Channel Balance
Enable mono audio or adjust the left/right balance for headphones, useful for users with specific hearing preferences or needs.
Ringtone & Notifications to Headphones Only
With Samsung Experience 9.0 or later, you can route calls, notifications, and alarms directly to your headphones, keeping them discreet and avoiding disruption.
Swap Audio Channels
Need to switch left and right audio channels? With supported Samsung devices, you can do just that—ideal for custom earbud setups or accessibility needs.
Floating Button Access
Quickly access Sound Assistant settings with its floating icon, giving you immediate control no matter what app you’re in.
