Iphone 5 speaker is not working

Hi
My iphone 5 speaker is not working and I am out of 1 year warranty. I feel bad to pay for speaker again after spending 700$ on a phone that doesnt last 1.5 year. Is there anything i can do about it. I tried resetting my phone, restarting and all. I believe a lot of customers have this problem - making me believe this is manufacturing fault. I know i can pay 60 bucks to get a new speaker; but is there anything Apple can do? should I do anything at all?
thanks
Mc 

Hello there, mcMlast.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for troubleshooting issues with no sound from the speaker on your iOS device:
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved, please  contact Apple Support.
Learn more about troubleshooting iPhone hardware issues.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

  • IPhone speaker does not work when switching call to hands free option

    having problems with IPhone speaker, not working when switching phone calls to speaker mode, any suggestion?

    Same problem - I was on the phone last night and the speaker switched off and can't figure out what happened. I tried to reset the phone, no sound is working.  I can hear a phone call if I hold it up to my ear. Very frustrating as my phone is less than 3 months old. Tracy

    Hi! My phone speaker is not working, so I cant hear people when they call me. I bought my iphone 4s con February 2013 in the Grand Central (NYC - USA) Apple Store. I would like to know if I can take it to an Apple Store in Spain so they can fix it or change it. Or I need to find a way to take it to the US, where I bought it.
    Thanks!!!

    You will need to return the phone to the US. iPhone warranty is only good in the country of purchase, with the exception of the EU.

  • My iphone music speaker is not working what can i do?

    my iphone music speaker is not working what can i do ?

    Just to make sure, did you check the mute button on the side of the phone?
    If it is not set, can you hear music if you're using the headphones?
    If yes, listen to music using your headphones, then unplug and start the music again. If you toggle the volume up and down, can you see the volume slider moving?
    Do you get any sound, for example when your phone is ringing?

    my speaker in iphone 4s is not working from yesterday ..it happened suddenly while listening to songs....do anyone had this pblm and how u resolved it?

    I got this problem solved and just want to let others know what it was.
    I followed ewdel1's advice and brought my phone in to have it looked at and sure enough, was told that this is a problem others have had and it was due to a faulty integrated circuit.  Luckily, I was able to take this in to be looked at when I did because my 1 year warranty was about to expire in a week.
    Apple replaced my 4S with a "new" phone.  The replacement looks and works good as new, so happy I didn't have to go through a hassle and the replacement was very straightforward.

  • Upper speaker in my new iPhone 4 does not work properly. I hear strange sounds instead of speech. What to o?

    Upper speaker in my new iPhone 4 does not work. When somebody calls me I hear only strange sounds. Please, help!

    A couple of other things you can try -
    With my 2010 Ford Fusion (and SYNC) I received the same not optimized message a few times. There were several things I had to do but eventually, I got it cleared up. Not sure exactly how this will translate to your Toyota but maybe it will.
    - Try resetting the iPhone via a power off/on or a hard reset where you hold the home and power buttons. Then power back on and plug into your USB port.
    - In my case I had an issue with SYNC in my car where I needed to reset the USB port in my car. Not sure if Toyota has something similar. The fact that you said it won't charge makes me wonder if the USB port got disabled in your car. This happened in my car and an easy reset for me was to remove a fuse for a few minutes and replace.
    - Update your iPhone in iTunes and resync it there. Then try connecting again in yor car.
    - Delete and re pair your iPhone from your Toyota system
    Hope something here helps. Thanks

  • The speaker is not working with music on my iPhone 4S

    The speaker is not working with music and often stops working with headphones.  Is there a way to fix?  I've tried the volume manually, in settings, restarting the phone, but nothing seems to work.  The volume bar doesn't even appear on the screen.

    That's unfortunate.  Have you searched this forum and read all the useful troubleshooting tips?  What exactly have you done thus far to remedy your situation?

  • Speaker on iPhone 4S does not work, only with earpods., Speaker on iPhone 4S does not work, only with earpods.

    Bring the phone in for eval.

  • My iPod touch speaker will not work in music.

    After updating to iOS 4.3.3 my iPod touch(3rd generation) will no longer play music threw the speaker. It may play for a split second and it stops and the volume bar goes away along with the function of the volume buttons. The speaker will not work right away but eventually will return, it still works for youtube and and everything else but music.

    Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
