HMD promises to fix the Dolby Equalizer issue affecting Nokia 5 devices

If you happen to own a Nokia 5, then chances are you're being affected by a strange issue that prevents the smartphone from opening the Dolby Equalizer settings from certain music apps.

Many Nokia 5 users have noticed that when they try to open the Equalizer app from Google Play Music or Spotify, they get a white screen instead of the audio settings.

Although Dolby Equalizer does work when not specifically opened from those two apps (maybe others too), HMD Global has already acknowledged the problem and said they are already working on a fix.

For those who would still want to be able to use Dolby surround sound on their Nokia 5, there are many third-party apps in the Google Play Store that should work just fine until HMD addresses the problem.

Obviously, this is just a small bug that shouldn't prevent anyone who likes the Nokia 5 from buying it. It's also nice to know that HMD is quickly patching any software issues found by users.
