Did you already reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, try to set it up as new device, explained here:

I cannot get any sound from my imac

Hi
I cannot get any sound from my imac either itunes or alert sounds I've checked that everything is turned up and not muted
thanks in advance

If a simple reboot doesn't fix it, try resetting the SMU.
Depending on which iMac you have, one of these links will explain how.

I cannot hear any sound from my ipad

I cannot hear any sound in my ipad, no music no vedios and even the keys sound!!!! I need to know what is the solution???

1. If you have no sound at all, even in the Music App, try rebooting the iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
2. Reset all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. No data will be lost but you will have to enter all of the device settings again.
3. If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

4. If you still have no sound at all - try cleaning the dock connector opening of the iPad with a soft brush and just a little bit of rubbing alcohol.

Cannot hear any sound from WMP, youtube, or any other videos

I use a Vista SP2 HP Pavilion dv6 laptop. Yesterday suddenly, all sound died on me. The previous day, I had downloaded flash videos from a website called www.auditchannel.tv (this is a website run by the Institute of Internal Auditors, a
global organisation), and was able to hear the sound. I muted the speaker at that time. Yesterday, I tried to listen to the same flash videos after unmuting the speaker, but could not hear any sound. Tried playing videos on Youtube, other
videos that I had downloaded earlier, but even there no sound was audible. Then tried playing my mp3 files on windows media player but got the error message saying "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file. For additional
assistance, click Web Help."
I've tried everything listed on Microsoft Support sites. This includes:
i) going to Device manager and ensuring that all the sound devices are showing as working correctly, and all related drivers are uptodate
ii) downloading Microsoft Fixit exe files for AudioPlayback and WinMediaPlayer, running the exe files, which reinstalled WMP...
but the problem was not resolved !
Would appreciate your help to fix this issue.
One more point - Day before yesterday night, some automatic updates were downloaded by Windows Update overnight, and when I woke up my machine the following morning, I noticed that it had actually shut down and restarted. But it seemed that the auto
update files had not been fully installed. So, yesterday night, I ran the Windows Update manually, and installed all the pending updates fully. Not sure if this sound problem could have been caused by this event - ie. partial installation, then
running Windows Update again ?? The auto updates were the following:
Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 9 for Windows Vista
Security Updates for Windows Vista...various
Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - December 2013
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 for Windows Vista
ZTEMT Corporation - Bus Controllers and Ports - ZTE...various
Synaptics - Input - Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad
Definition Update for Windows Defender

The internal speakers started working after uninstalling the sound drivers and restarted the machine, after which the system reinstalled the High Definition Audio Device driver, which was hitherto being used for the Headset speakers.
Today, the external speakers (the ones used by the headset) stopped working. Both the internal and external speakers
have the same High Definition Audio Device driver. Both are showing "device is working properly", but when the headset is plugged into the two jacks (in and out), the sound does not come from the headset earpiece, but from the internal speakers (ie the loudspeakers).
Any solution for this ?
My wife's machine has been having a similar, though not identical problem, since the last couple of weeks. In her
case, when the headset is plugged in, there is no sound at all, neither from the headset speakers, nor from the internal speakers.
Just to eliminate the possibility of the headsets malfunctioning, I tried using another headset, but with the same
results as above.
All these audio problems started a couple of weeks ago, after a Windows overnight update, as detailed in my opening
post under this thread.

Hey ErikSimon, I kept troubleshooting my problem last night and when I loaded my samples an alternate way, actually the longer way, it worked. I think I have gremlins in the system or something, but I got it working again. I was having the issue when I tried loading the samples via these instructions that were mentioned in SFLogicninja's Youtube video @ 3:07
http://www.youtube.com/user/SFLogicNinja#p/u/8/7YjgKLZ2jpY
They are good instructions, but the Logic gods weren't smiling on me last night. Really weird and frustrating at the same time. Thanks anyways.

I don't hear any sound from my speakers I have tried all trouble shooting

Please can you help me. I don't hear any sound from my speakers, I have done all trouble shooting and they all indicate that speakers are working properly

Long shot, but...
Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back.

The volume on my iPad 3 has gone. I've checked the mute button, tried restarting, resetting etc and nothing has changed. I can't hear the music, hear any sound from videos. Most times the video stops playing after a seconds. My iPad 3 is only 2 months ol.

If you have lost all sound and video is freezing on you, that ain't good. Your iPad is two months old so I would not hesitate to contact Apple at all. You are entitled to 90 days of phone support.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/contact/.
If you want to try a couple of things on your own, try quitting all apps and then reboot the iPad - not so much for the sound issue itself - but more as a general "start all over again" sort of approach. It might help with the video freezes.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Reboot the iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If you use headphones on occasion, you can try plugging and unplugging those as well and see if the sound comes back.
You could even try restoring the iPad to factory settings and then restore from a backup, but unless there is something totally hosed on the iPad, that should not be necessary with a two month old device - of course assuming that you didn't drop the iPad or do something accidental that could be causing the problems.
