How to Control Music Playback with Volume Buttons on Samsung

Users of Samsung phones with One UI in Europe have plenty of customization options, which is made possible by Good Lock, the brand’s own app. In this customization application we have different modules, as SoundAssistant, who is in charge of everything related to cell phone sound and volume.

SoundAssistant is a module that offers us various options, such as playing music from two apps at the same time or customizing the appearance of the volume panel. This module in Samsung mobiles also allows us to use the volume buttons to control music playback with the screen off.

How to customize the volume panel on your Samsung mobile

Samsung lets you customize your phone’s volume panel with Good Lock’s sound assistant. We show you how this is done.

Control music on Samsung with volume buttons

Controlling music with the volume buttons is something that many Android users want or do, in some cases through apps for it. Samsung is introducing this possibility for its phones thanks to the SoundAssistant module, which can be downloaded for free from the Galaxy Store. This module allows skip songs using your phone’s volume buttons, which facilitates the control of this reading. The steps to follow are:

1. Download Sound Assistant to your phone from this link.
2. Open the app on the phone.
3. Go down to the end.
4. Enter advanced settings.
5. Go to Music volume control.
6. Tap the switch to activate this option.

By activating this function on your Samsung mobile, you can control music playback with the screen off, using the volume buttons directly. These buttons will allow you to change songs, either skip to the next, or go back to the previous song you were listening to.

It is a simple method, also compatible with any music player app. Whether you are using Spotify or YouTube Music Premium (where it is possible to play music with the screen off), you can switch between songs on your Samsung mobile with this feature enabled in SoundAssistant.
