IPhone 5 loss of sound

My iPhone has lost sound.  Turning the phone off and then back on has not helped.  Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi Mary,
The troubleshooting steps in this article may help you with this:
iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
Resolution
Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (chooseSettings > General > Bluetooth).
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
Hope this helps!

  • Loss of sound during calls following updating iphone 4 with IOS5

    I've recently updated my Iphone 4 with the IOS5 update.  Since then I've had terrible problems with loss of sound on phonecalls.  I can hear others but they cant hear me  - loss of sound is patchy during a call.  I've cleaned mic with a soft brush and rebooted but problem still exists.  Any ideas before I restore factory settings/ and or take back to the shop?

    I have a Iphone 4 and when i try to make calls, i cannot hear anything unless i put it on speaker, and sometimes if i try to turn the call volume up during a call without the speaker it almost sounds like the speaker is blown out. I just bought this phone online 2 days ago so i don't understand how that could happen.
    Is anyone having this problem? I'm am totally lost with what to do other than return the phone in and see if i can get another one?
    Please help!!!!!

  • Loss of sound (Hard-reset and restore does not work)

    Hi,
    I loss all sounds on my iPad 2 (currently on iOS 7.04). This is the 2nd time I have had this issue (had it with an earlier iPad) and had to replace the previous one (out of warranty period).  Very frustrating as it is about the same time period after purchase.  Last time, it seemed like a repeated fault with the iPad and I cannot believe I have the same issue again on a different product.  It is an expensive way of having to re-buy every couple of years for no other reason.
    It did not happen immediately after an update i.e. it does not appear to be "update" or iOS version-related. 
    Anyone got any advice please?  The facts are as follows (and what I have tried).
    When it happened?
    I was in iMovie editing a movie when all sound went from the speaker.  It continued to work with earphones plugged in, but this is now intermittent.  I have no sound on the speaker at all except for when I click sounds on the menu and change the level of ringer alert (which works on the speakers).  This seems to tell me that it is a software problem.  I have no sound on any applications or internet video or music from iTunes.  I cannot survive on the earphones as they only work for a period of time and then they fail (until I take the jack out again when it works again for a period of time before the headphones fail again).
    What have I tried?
    a) Numerous hard resets
    b) changing the side switch's position
    c) changing in general settings the side switch settings from lock rotation to mute and back again (repeatedly and in reverse to see if it makes any difference)
    d) resetting all settings - this made no difference
    e) erase all content and settings - interestingly at the stage when it asked me if I wanted to restore from an iCloud account, it was making sounds (the keyboard clicks - which don't make a sound irrespective of the click setting currently) i.e. appeared to have resolved the issue and as soon as I restored my iCloud back-up, the sound went again.
    I would be grateful for any suggestions.  This post also includes a recommendation to Apple on improving its product (relating to iCloud backups) as the ultimate solution should not be paying for a replacement for a software issue (to avoid losing all my data permanently).
    My musings are that:
    a) it is definitively a software issue (on account that the speakers work in certain situations only)
    b) it appears to be that the software is corrupted in my iCloud back up
    c) it is an issue that happens regularly and is an avoidable issue/cost to Apple's customers that needs to receive higher priority in being addressed as it is built in redundancy for a significant proportion of customers.  At the very least, iCloud backups should be capable of being restored in part - is there any way this could be done so we don't lose all of our notes, media etc if the final advice is to "start again".  How can it be right to lose all content because of an Apple system software issue?  I am pre-guessing this will be the final advice (if I don't want to pay for a replacement iPad)?
    Please help me and all those others with the same avoidable software problem.
    Thank you,
    Peter

    This is an iPad user to user forum, so you are not addressing Apple.
    Try this  - Reset 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

  • Intermittant loss of sound

    since i updated the software on my iphone 4 i have intermittant loss of sound i have researched and this is a common problem trouble is no one has an easy fix answer the best suggestion is to revert the phone back to the old software but i have no idea how to do this and apple dont seem to be acknowleging that they messed up with the update so if anyone can help i would be very gratefull
    many thanks

    I have been there and done that.....makes no difference. Why do you think that the all of a sudden it would change the output in the first place? Things don't change by themselves for no apparent reason. It was still on the bose speakers when I went into sys pref. Amazing that you think that it would change itself everyday....did you really read my post or were you distracted?

  • Why iPhone 6 Plus sound microphone not working, but in the case of sound recordings in conversation mode work?

    Why iPhone 6 Plus sound microphone not working, but in the case of sound recordings in conversation mode work?

    Sighhhh, wasted so much time yesterday and today going around Sony centre and then carphone warehouse. They told me to come back after Easter.
    I came home, banged the phone against the wall and it worked.
    Turned out that mic was working on loud speaker and when using headphones so I thought that the secondary mic is working and the main one (placed with the speakers) isn't. So I banged that part against the wall slightly (in plastic case to prevent scratches) then put the phone underwater, waited for it to dry and now it's working. Idk how well and if it's of perfect quality again but people can hear me well.

  • Loss Of Sound Sync - FC7

    Hi Gang
    Working with FC7 in Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and an older Mac Pro.
    Exported a 70 minute clip and noticed loss of Sound Sync, (about mid way thru in a QT File). The clip is a mixture of assorted clips.
    Divided the 70 minute clip into 3 separate exported clips which produced proper 'Synced Sound' in each clip.
    This problem used to occasionally happen in FC6  - Does anyone know a fix or work-around?
    Thank You
    Mike

  • Loss of Sound HP Pavillion Entertainment Laptop DV6820ea

    Hi,
    Operating System:  Windows Vista
    Sound Driver :         Conextant High Definition Smart Audio 221 (SPDIF INTERFACE)
    Other Programmes: I Tunes
    Problem :     Sudden loss of sound, I have tried the obvious such as is the touch sensitive mute switched off and the volumes switched on . I did briefly have my i-touch connected via USB but don't remember doing anything other than connecting and disconnecting the USB cable. Then there was no sound. I have also tried via control panel testing the devices and the speaker test works correctly but other than this I am unable to get any sound from the laptop. I did find, although I can't remember where, next to a  I-tunes file name  yellow triangles but was unabe to delete. This will probably be a very obvious and simple solution! but I would greatly appreciate any help!    many thanks  

    This often occurs when you plug in an HDMI device, on my machine.  Try manually setting the playback device:
    Right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar.
    Select Playback Devices.
    Right-click the audio device you want (i.e. Speakers)
    Select Set as default device.
    If this does not work, try logging in with an account that has administrative access.  I discovered the wireless network can not be enabled by a non-administrative account, when it is disabled while logged in as an administrator.  You have to go back to the admin account, enable wireless, and then log back to the other account.
    Avoid updating your driver, unless the device no longer functions.

  • Loss of sound and video playback on ENVY X2

    Every so often, more often than I would like, my HP Envy X2 loses sound and video playback capabilities; any ideas anybody? The concept of this machine is great and have had it for the past 9 months but this loss of sound and vision is so unpredictable and frustating...  

    Hi Brumage,
    I saw your post regarding the sound and video issues and I will be happy to help. Do you get any error messages when this happens? Have noticed if it is a particular site like YouTube or program that you are using when the issue occurs or does it occur on all programs? When you restarted the Envy X2 does the issue go away?
    I would start by suggesting that you make sure all updates have been installed through HP Support Assistant and Windows Update.
    What operating system are you running? What is your product number?

    No such model exists, therefore there is no problem.
    Seriously though, clean the dock connector and headphone jack.  Lint/debris in either can cause problems.

  • When I rec videos with iPhone 5 the sound doesn't exist but only a annoying noise..WHY?!

    Suddenly now when I rec videos with iPhone 5 the sound doesn't exist but only a annoying noise..WHY?!

    Only songs that are physically stored on the iOS device can be deleted with a swipe. Songs that have been listened to, and are in the temporary cache, apparently can not be deleted with a swipe. The easiest way to get rid of these songs is to go to Settings > General > Usage, tap Music (you may need to scroll down in the list), swipe across "all music" then tap the delete button. This will delete ALL music on the device.
    Also, iCloud and iTunes Match are not the same service.

  • Just installed IOS 7.0.2 (11A501) on Iphone now the sound when I play music is too low even when I crank it as loud as it will go. I used to be able to hear it when I mowed the lawn. not anymore. any suggestions?

    This should solve the problem
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    It will not erase any of your personal data, just reset the settings.
    Hope this helps.

  • Does iPhone record when sound is manually turned off via the external side switch?

    Does iPhone record when sound is manually turned off via the external side switch? Enquiring minds want to know.

    Are you asking if the phone logs when someone mutes it? No, I don't believe so. Or, are you asking if audio recording apps still record when the phone is muted? Why don't you use the included VoiceMemo app and test it?
    Best of luck.

  • IPhone 4 no sound, what to do ?

    Hi there,
    I have a problem with my iphone 4. i bought it some month ago (last november) and this problem happened many time but now i'm sick of it...
    The problem is that my iphone lost all sound (and it not the switch on the left side). When i try to listen some music, for example, the screen 'play' appear and it go back to the song selection menu...when i have this problem, i need to reboot the iphone many time (4-5-6 times and again...), when people call me, i can't hear them, and they can't hear me, when i try speaker, doesn't work (it like it became enable and 1 seconds after disable...can't activate it..)
    I never dropped it, i never used it the wrong way. I tried restore, back up and still not working or work for sometime (1 week or less) before the problem come back.
    Some people say that is a problem with the headphone connector, but it is not...when i up the volume "(headphone)" don't appear.
    What can i do ? some people had this problem?
    Sorry for my poor english

    I got my iPhone a week ago and noticed an intermittent problem which I initially attributed to newbie ignorance. This morning no sound whatsoever. I searched and found several solutions that worked for others but not for me. I even did a Restore. Finally I found this - press on the corner that has the antenna problem.
    Now I knew about the antenna issue, but not which corner has the antenna so I pressed on corners (squeezing between thumb and forefinger) until I got to the bottom right and voila! Success! My sound has returned.
    I will probably be taking a little trip back to AT&T/Apple to have a little discussion about this, but until then, I guess I know what to do.

  • What is my iphone making a sound (like a turn on sound) when I turn it on....never happened before!!!  How do I turn off this sound?

    Not sure whats going on today...why is my Iphone making a sound when I turn it on...like a beep noise...it never happened before...how can I turn it off???

    Does a Reset work? Mostly unlikely! [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!
