Ways to Fix “iPhone Sound Not Working” issue

Clean Your iPhone’s Speakers

Before you move on to fixing software problems, check to see if dust and dirt are preventing your iPhone’s speakers from working. This could be the reason why your iPhone isn’t making any noise. We have safe ways to clean your iPhone that you can follow.

If it’s not dust or dirt, try to remember if you dropped your iPhone in water recently by chance. Even though iPhones can’t get wet, water could still get into your speakers. If this is the case, you can use the Sonic app to get the water out of the speakers.

Test Your iPhone’s Speaker and Your Audio Devices

When your iPhone’s sound doesn’t work, you should first try to figure out if the problem is with the program or the hardware. This is how:

1. Go to the Settings app.
2. Select Sounds & Haptics.
3. Under the Ringer & Alerts section, tap and slide the volume slider to the right. This increases the speaker volume.
4. If there is sound, your iPhone’s speaker is functional. If not, it’s likely a hardware issue that needs repairing.

Check Your iPhone’s Sound Settings

If your iPhone’s sound isn’t working and it’s not on Silent Mode or linked to a Bluetooth device, the problem may be with your sound settings. First, set your volume buttons. You might think your iPhone is silent because you accidentally turned down the noise. To fix this, just press the button on the side of your iPhone that says “Volume Up.”

If you’ve already turned up your device’s volume and your iPhone sounds still aren’t working—for example, new texts don’t make any alert sounds—check your other sound settings as follows:

1. In the Settings app, select Sounds & Haptics.
2. Scroll to the Sounds and Vibration Patterns section.
3. Tap into each tone setting to check that there’s an alert tone selected. For example, tap Text Tone.
4. Make sure that None is not selected for anything.

Turn Off Silent Mode and Do Not Disturb

It’s easy to get work done when Silent Mode and Do Not Disturb are turned on. So, if your iPhone doesn’t make any noise, it could be because these features are still on.
Here’s how to stop Silent Mode from working:

1. Find the Ring/Silent switch, located on the top-left side of your iPhone.
2. If Silent Mode is on, an orange strip shows.
3. Move the switch towards the screen to cover the orange strip. This turns off Silent Mode.

Here’s how to turn off Do Not Disturb or Focus:

1. Access your iPhone’s Control Center. The method to open the Control Center may vary depending on your iPhone model.
2. Tap Do Not Disturb: On (moon icon) to turn it off. Or tap any other Focus mode that is currently enabled to disable it.

Check Your iPhone’s Audio Output

If you have Bluetooth turned on and there is no sound on your iPhone, it may be because it has automatically connected to a live Bluetooth audio device, like a pair of wireless earbuds. So, the sound from your iPhone is coming from these instead of the speakers. You can easily get rid of the gadgets by turning off Bluetooth on your iPhone:

1. Open the Control Center.
2. The Bluetooth button is blue when switched on. Tap to turn it off.

Also, check that your AirPlay isn’t connected to an external speaker. In the Control Center:

1. Tap the AirPlay icon in the top-right corner.
2. Check that iPhone is selected.

If you’ve tried all of these solutions and you’re still having the same problem in your iPhone, you should go to their official Apple support website for more information.
