If you’re trying to get the best audio quality on your Samsung Galaxy A56, you should try the UHQ upscaler. The Ultra High Quality (UHQ) upscaler is a nifty feature that makes your music and videos sound sharper and richer.
What You Will Need
The UHQ upscaler only works with wired Samsung headphones or earbuds. Wireless headphones, like AirPods, or non-Samsung wired headphones won’t do the trick. So, grab a pair of Samsung USB-C earbuds (or a Samsung-recommended wired headset) to make this work.
Here’s how you can turn on the UHQ upscaler in just a few taps:
- Open Settings
Start by opening the Settings app on your phone. - Go to Sound and Vibration
Scroll down and tap on Sound and Vibration. - Tap on Sound Quality and Effects
This is where the audio enhancements live. - Look for UHQ Audio
Here, you will see an option called UHQ Audio. If it’s grayed out, don’t worry, that’s normal if you’re not using the correct headphones.
The Headphone Rule
Here’s the important part: UHQ only works with Samsung-branded or Samsung-certified headphones.
Even though your AirPods or other Bluetooth headphones might be connected, you won’t be able to activate UHQ unless you are using a Samsung Galaxy Buds model or another pair that’s officially compatible.
So, if you have tried to turn on this feature and nothing happens:
- Make sure no other headphones are connected.
- Try using a Samsung headphone.
- Then go back into the menu and check again.
Basically, Samsung wants you to use their gear to unlock this feature. As soon as you plug in or connect Samsung-compatible headphones, the option lights up, and you can finally turn it on.
