Equaliser does nothing

Is anyone else experiencing this? Sound Alive+ works, up scaler and tube amp emulation work, but changing the EQ does absolutely nothing. Likewise with effects like 3D, concert hall etc.

Are you listening through headphones, bluetooth speaker, or the phone speaker?

Should have mentioned that sorry - headphones, plugged in to the 3.5mm jack.

I've been sitting here with headphones changing every setting I can think of and can't make the eq not work. I'm really not sure whats going on. Have you tried restarting your phone?

Yup, restarted, cleared data on soundalive. Haven't factory reset but really don't want to have to do that. Appreciate the feedback though :-)

Were you using the Samsung Music Player or something else? Seems to work in Samsung Music Player for me but nothing else.

Whike you are in your music app and your music is playing, pause it for a second and then unpause. With the music playing, go to the eq and change stuff. Does it work then?

This is what I have to do sometimes happens to me too.

Finally got round to trying this, but it didn't work :-( Randomly yesterday the EQ worked for like an hour.

Are you using the Samsung music app or a 3rd party?

Spotify - it randomly worked yesterday for about an hour and sounded great, today it's bung again.

I get a noticeable difference in sound when connected over Bluetooth
