IOS 5.1.1. update bug (Volume Control)

This thread concerns IOS 5.1.1. update and the subsequent loss of volume button functionality and use of internal speakers.
Please can someone help from the mac team!
It's not a jailbreak phone. only purchased in early April on O2. Updated to 5.1.1. yesterday morning and now the volume buttons are virtually redundant!. Here are the symptoms;
When the volume buttons are pressed on the home screen i get "ringer" and the speaker symbol appear but nothing more (ie. +/- volume)
When playing back from iTunes with no headphones in, I get nothing through the internal speakers, nor do the volume buttons work, nor is the volume slider visable.
When i playback Youtube content with no headphones in, I get nothing through the internal speakers, nor do the volume buttons work, nor is the volume slider visable.
With headphones plugged in sound is audible and volume buttons work.
Whilst using voicemail, (no headphones connected) i can play the message through the speakers and control volume using side buttons.
What's the deal Mac Support? I have restored the phone twice and also given the headphone jack a good blow with Servisol Duster 101.
Thanks, P

Hi,
I have the same problem with one of our two iPhone 4S's. I purchased 2 - 16gig iPhone 4S's at the same time from the online Apple Store here in Canada; one white and one black. I updated both the phones on the same night, within hours of eachother. Updating my black 16gig iPhone 4S went flawlessly. Updating the white iPhone 4S seemed to go fine until the day after when my wife said the volume buttons weren't working. Also, the volume slider is simply gone. The volume buttons work and the volume slider shows up when headphones are plugged in. There is volume and volume control with headphones, but not through speakers. The mute toggle switch on the side seems to work, except when it comes to sound output through the speakers.
It hasn't debilitated the device, but it's very frustrating for her because she can't hear her phone ringing. I tried the "headphone jack" trick to know avail.
iPhone Team, please validate the issue and push a fix!

IOS 6.1 has removed sound, volume controls

On updating to iOS 6.1 this evening I find that I've lost all volume controls, except in the 'Sounds' section of 'Settings'. The hardware buttons don't work; and the slider doesn't appear in apps. There is no sound from the speakers during playback. This is after a couple of power cycles and a hard reset. Is there a fix? Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion - I tried it, but it didn't work.
I've since established that everything works as it should if headphones are connected. But once the headphones are unplugged, all the sound is off again, the sliders vanish, and the side buttons do nothing. It's a software problem - the speakers do work because the ringer volume can be adjusted within 'Settings' -> 'Sound' - it's just disabled across the rest of the system.

A quick note: You might be getting a popup message from time to time while using BBM app (on iOS 9 beta 2) telling you that you are currently running an older version of the app - indicating the ignore and update option below the message. Just click the ignore option and continue using the app. It’s a bug waiting to be fixed!

Gnome update broke volume control, bkgd setting, etc.

on my lenovo laptop (runs arch-64) things like the volume up/down buttons used to work, and i used to have a wallpaper background with my openbox desktops. after the latest gnome update now all of these things are broken. i also can't adjust the system alert volume via the gnome control center. does anyone know if these are common issues that will probably be solved soon in a future update, or whether i should start digging and hacking?

New Android Software Update and volume control

I recently got the new Android System Software update. The problem that I noticed right off the bat is that I can no longer turn the volume off. Only to vibrate mode. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

I have provided some information below that may help with the silent vibrate function.
If you are just using the volume keys on the side of the phone, you can only set it on vibrate (silent mode is not available through this method). If you would like to place the phone on silent, you will have to go through the settings and sound menu.
I have provided the information below:
Enabling silent mode
<Select menu> <Select settings> <Select sound> <Check Silent mode> <Select Vibrate / Never>
I hope this information helps!

Musicapp, speaker and volume control won't work since updated to iOS 7.1

Since I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 7.1 my iPhone works faster than iOS 7. But some apps like musicapp, youtube have no volume control and the speakers won't work. When somebody call me the iPhone rings normally. I tried turn off bluetooth because I thought the iPhone will conect to my car. I pressed the lock and homebutton for reseting, I deletetet my whole iPhone and installed iOS7.1 again - nothing changed. Only when i plug in my earphones everything will work as normal.

Hi AmishCake!

sorry for my bad english and thank you for trying to solve my problem!

Updated iPhone 5s to IOS 7.0.3 - now volume control on earphone lead not working, Updated iPhone 5s to IOS 7.0.3 - now volume control on earphone lead not working

Before updating my iPhone 5s to IOS 7.0.3 from 7.0.2 volume control on supplied earphones worked fine.
Now the iphone is unresponsive to that volume control.

I spoke with my service department, I have insurance so they just sent me a new phone. Good news? Maybe.
It was refurbished not new like they said. It had iOS 6.0 and when I plugged it into the PC to update from the backup that I had done on the other phone, it gave an error message about the sofware being too old. Then it only updated the stuff from a year ago and ate all the photos and addresses and phone numbers and notes that were less than a year old. I've spent most of the last 24 hours trying to get back what I could from other sources.
So: good, but not wonderful. Be careful if you replace it, and holler at Apple until they come out with a fix. Now I wish I had just put up with no ringer tones. Sigh. Good luck, y'all.
Shouldn't matter, but my carrier is Verizon, not ATT.

Bluetooth is off and I have no ear pods connected. I hit the volume up or down key and all I get is the speaker icon with a circle and hash thru it under the icon. Is there somethin

Hello PaulH.Reed,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with audio issues. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker
Follow these steps and test the sound after each one.
Go to Settings > Sounds and drag the Ringer And Alerts slider to turn the volume up.
If you can hear sound from the speaker, then the speaker works. Continue with these steps to find the setting or switch that's affecting the sound. If you can't hear sound from the speaker, contact Apple Support.
Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is set to ring. If you can see orange, it's set to silent.
Restart your device.
Open an app that has music or sound effects. Adjust the volume with the volume buttons or the slider in Control Center.
Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn off Bluetooth.
If there's still no sound, connect a headset. If you can hear sound through the headset, remove it and clear any dust or debris from the headset jack of your device.
If the device is in a case, make sure that the case doesn't block the speaker.
Use a brush to gently clear any debris from the speaker and Lightning connector (or 30-pin dock connector). The brush should be clean and dry and have soft bristles.
Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
If you followed these steps and still hear no sound or distorted sound, contact Apple Support.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
BobbyD

Airport or iTunes Updates Neutered iTune Volume Control ?

Not sure exactly which update did it, but, somewhere along the way when I updated to iTunes 7, the latest AirPort Update 2006-001, and Security Update 2006-005, the volume control in iTunes quit functioning. It used to work with streaming radio audio to my home stereo system. It doesn't appear to function at all. Introduced bug ?

Have you tried unplugging the Airport Express, if that does not work try resetting it

Volume control and video stopped working after recent update

I am having two problems that started at the same time. First, I cannot control the volume. When I hit the volume control buttons the volume display comes up but with a circle with a line through it. I checked the sound in Preferences and it showed no outputs, not even the internal speakers. I do still get the tone at startup but nothing else will play sound. Second, I can't seem to play videos from any online source (i.e. YouTube, Hulu, etc). Any attempts to do so lock up my browsers (both Safari and Firefox). I can play iTunes videos, but there is still no sound. I've only had the computer a couple of months and haven't recently installed anything new on it. My computer did download 3 updates earlier today though I don't remember checking what they were. Any help anyone can give me would be most appreciated.

I did what you suggested and after the apple icon, I get the iTunes icon with a plug in cord.
After plugging in, a box pops up in itunes indicating it has detected an ipad in recovery mode and it says it can not connect with itunes until restored. I have attempted to restore via itune but the next pop up box say "this device is not eligible for the requested build."
When I hit "more information" I am told to update my itunes to the latest which results in my having to download iOS 7.0.4 on my macbook pro.
Am I at a stand still because I won't download 7.0.4 on my macbook pro?

I've just had a keyboard firmware update and now my volume control buttons wont work

i've just had a keyboard firmware update and now my volume control buttons wont work.
Has anyone else had this problem? if so have they found out how to fix it, or is this an on going issue?

Hi,
Your problem has some similarities to this problem that I reported earlier this month that that still arises every few days. I was thinking that my problem was related to some sort of bug in Entourage, but maybe it's something else...
