Typical speaker problems on the Galaxy S20
- The main speaker on the Galaxy S20 crackles, scratches or sounds tinny – the membrane is damaged
- Music/video playback is only half as loud as before – the speaker grille or membrane is worn
- One of the two stereo speakers is silent – the other still works (often: the earpiece has failed)
- The earpiece stays silent during calls – the other party hears you, you hear nothing
- A crackle or hiss at high volume – often after a water or drop event
- The hands-free function no longer works properly – the speaker cannot hold the full volume
- The speaker buzzes at certain frequencies – the housing bonding comes loose, the membrane vibrates freely
How does the Galaxy S20 speaker repair work?
- Diagnosis: which speaker?
On the Galaxy S20 we test the main speaker (music/video) and the earpiece (calls) separately. Often only one of the two is faulty – that saves costs.
- Open the aluminium frame
On the Galaxy S20 the speakers sit in the lower and upper frame. We heat the adhesive layer to 70 °C and open carefully, without warping the frame.
- Loosen the speaker module from the frame
The module is fixed to the mainboard with micro screws and a flex cable. Loosening without pressure on neighbouring components – the stereo driver is sensitive.
- Install the certified replacement speaker
Original specifications (8 ohm impedance, Samsung-compatible membrane). Connector on the mainboard, screws torque-controlled, seal renewed.
- Renew the IP68 seal
The adhesive film around the speaker grille is fully replaced – only then does the IP68 protection stay fully functional.
- Sound test at various volume levels
We test music playback, the phone earpiece, the hands-free mode and the bass/treble characteristic. Only after a full test does your Galaxy S20 come back.
Replacing the Galaxy S20 speaker – price, process and what can break
The Galaxy S20 has a stereo speaker system (two drivers: the main speaker at the bottom + the earpiece at the top as a second channel). The most common defects: a membrane tear after a fall, water damage at the speaker grille, water ingress through porous seals. Our S20 shows the same symptoms as the rest of the A/S series, but the price depends on the housing architecture and the speaker tier.
On the Galaxy S20 Reparo replaces the faulty speaker in Vienna for **€59 fixed price**. Included are a certified Samsung-compatible membrane, a new IP68 seal, installation, function test and 6 months warranty. If the defect arose after water contact, we also check for traces of corrosion – see S20 water damage rescue.
One speaker or both – what gets replaced?
The Galaxy S20 has a main speaker (for music, videos, hands-free) and an earpiece (for calls). In stereo mode both form the two channels. Often only one is faulty – the price stays €59 fixed price. With both at the same time you get a package price on request. All S20 options: Galaxy S20 repair overview.
Frequently asked questions about the Galaxy S20 speaker replacement
What does the speaker repair for the Galaxy S20 cost?
The Galaxy S20 speaker replacement costs €59 fixed price at Reparo in Vienna. Included: a replacement speaker unit, a new IP68 seal, installation, sound test, 6 months warranty. Diagnostic 25 EUR waived on order.
Do I have to replace both stereo speakers on the Galaxy S20?
No. The Galaxy S20 has two speakers (the bottom one + the earpiece at the top as a second stereo channel). If only one is faulty, we replace only the affected one – the price stays €59 fixed price. With both at the same time there is a package price on request.
Earpiece broken vs. main speaker – how do I tell the difference on the Galaxy S20?
Test: play music/video. If that crackles/is quiet → the main speaker. Call someone and speak without hands-free – if you hear nothing → the earpiece. If both tests are silent → both faulty (rare) or a software problem. We check this in the diagnosis.
How long does the Galaxy S20 speaker replacement take?
The Galaxy S20 speaker replacement at Reparo takes **60–90 minutes** of pure work. With pickup service in Vienna you often get the device back on the same working day. From the provinces 2–3 working days for the whole process.
Does the IP68 water protection stay intact on the Galaxy S20 after the speaker replacement?
Yes. We renew the complete IP68 seal around the speaker grille. After installation, full protection again against splash water and brief immersion up to 1.5 m. Avoid active diving after housing interventions in general.
My Galaxy S20 crackles during calls – is that the earpiece or software?
90 % of cases: the earpiece membrane is damaged (pressure, moisture, dust). Software problems resolve after a restart or factory reset – if the crackle remains, hardware is due. We test this in the diagnosis (25 EUR, waived on repair).
Can I bring my Galaxy S20 directly to Reparo?
Reparo has no customer access on site. You book an appointment online – our courier comes to your address in all 23 Vienna districts (1010 to 1230). From the provinces insured shipping, return shipping in the price.
How does the pickup service in Vienna for the Galaxy S20 speaker replacement work?
Online booking, time slot between 9 and 18, the courier drives to your Vienna address. Repair 60–90 min in the studio, return often on the same day. Courier included in the €59 fixed price.
Is the shipment from the provinces safe for a Galaxy S20?
Yes. After the online booking shipping instructions with padding tips arrive. Insured both ways – regular customers from Graz, Linz, St. Pölten, Klagenfurt, Innsbruck and Bregenz.
Is data lost during the Galaxy S20 speaker replacement?
No. The flash storage, Samsung account and SIM stay untouched. Photos, apps, settings – everything stays. We still recommend a Samsung cloud backup in general.
How long is the warranty on the new Galaxy S20 speaker system?
Six months on the speaker unit and the installation work. If the speaker crackles or fails within the warranty period: an included follow-up replacement. Not covered: new drop damage or water exposure.
Do I lose the Samsung warranty through the Galaxy S20 speaker replacement?
The Samsung warranty has expired anyway after 2 years on most Galaxy S20 devices. The Reparo warranty on the new speaker applies for 6 months from installation – on speaker and labour.
Is the Galaxy S20 speaker replacement still worth it in 2026?
Yes. For €59 fixed price you get full sound again – vs. a replacement device (used device from about €254). The Galaxy S20 is still partly maintained by Samsung.
Can the Galaxy S20 speaker damage spread to other components?
Yes. If the speaker membrane tears, dust gets into the housing and can damage mainboard contacts. With water contact through the speaker grille, corrosion threatens neighbouring chips. Repairing early = cheaper.
My Galaxy S20 speaker failed after water contact – is a speaker replacement enough?
Often yes, but a diagnosis is mandatory. With water damage at the speaker it must also be checked whether water reached further into the housing. A simple speaker replacement €49–79 – with additional damage see S20 water damage rescue.
