Hello, When I am listening to music on my earbuds and a call comes in, the audio consistently reverts to playing on my phone after the call ends, rather than resuming on my earbuds. Could you please help me with this issue?

Yes, this is a fairly common Samsung issue and it is usually related to Bluetooth and audio routing settings. Try the steps below in order. Most users get it fixed with one of these.

1. Check Bluetooth audio permissions for your earbuds
Go to Settings > Connections > Bluetooth
Tap the gear icon next to your earbuds
Make sure Calls and Audio are both turned ON
If Audio is off, the phone will not switch back to earbuds after a call.

2. Disable separate app sound (very important)
Go to Settings > Sounds and vibration
Tap Separate app sound
Turn it OFF
When this is enabled, Samsung often sends media back to the phone speaker after calls.

3. Reset Bluetooth settings (safe option)
This will not delete your data, only Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections.
Go to Settings > General management > Reset
Tap Reset network settings
Restart your phone
Pair the earbuds again

4. Check media output after a call
After ending a call:
Pull down the Quick Panel
Tap Media output
Select your earbuds instead of Phone
If this fixes it temporarily, the issue is software related.

5. Turn off Bluetooth auto-switch (for Galaxy Buds users)
Open the Galaxy Wearable app
Go to Earbuds settings
Turn OFF Auto switch / Seamless connection

6. Update your phone and earbuds
Settings > Software update
Also update earbuds firmware via Galaxy Wearable

7. Clear Bluetooth cache (advanced but effective)
Dial *#9900#
Select Delete dumpstate/logcat
Restart the phone
If the issue still happens, tell me
Your Samsung model (for example A55, S21 FE, S24)
Which earbuds you are using
One UI version

I will give you device-specific steps next.
