Loud speaker not working

i cant seem to get my phone to ring and I am unable to use my loud speaker /hands free option. I have restored my phone back to factory settings to see if that helps but this has been unsuccessful. I once heard a little glimmer of a noise but then it died.... can anyone help me or do I need to put it in for repair. its an iphone 4s, ive only had it for over a year

Hi R.V.,
Welcome! I am sorry you are having problems with the sound.

First, I will point you to a document that will help you with the basics. Go through it and see if any of the techniques outlined help you to restore the sound.
If you are not using Windows 7, there are links in the top of the document to other Operating Systems...
Resolving No Sound or Audio Problems in Windows 7
If you are still having problems, then go to the Search Bar in the Forum Window and type "No sound" and then a Return. Peruse the Posts - almost everything that can be tried is there.
If you find that you do have a unique situation, come back: Describe the issue in detail, tell us what OS you are using, and outline what steps you've tried to resolve the problem. We'll see if there is anything else that can be done.
I hope this helps you restore the sound on your computer.

Nokia N70 (Loud) Speaker not working!!!

Hi all,
Strange problem, the (loud) speaker of my N70 is no longer working. No sound is coming out of the phone other than the keypad beeps, no ringing, no loud-speaker sound in calls, nothing. It was working fine a few hours ago but all of a sudden doesn't work!
I tried turning off the phone and starting it again. On re-start, the Nokia tone accompanying the joining hands too doesn't come.
Any ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thousand thanks,

hi...
well try formating the phone by *#7370# if it works than fine otherwise give it to a support center if it is under warranty... i had this experience it may be due to an sound i.c or the speaker itself!!!
best of luck

Ear speaker not working while at home?

Hello,
New to this forum, and could not find any call error specific section, so I hope I posted this in the correct one.
I've had an odd problem lately which is that my ear speaker does at times not function, and this problem only occurs while Im at home. Whenever Im in another location, e.g outside or even while riding the train through areas with low connection it works, and the loud speaker always work. Has anyone encountered this problem and have a fix for it? I hate using the loud speaker, and I find this issue absurd. I have tried changing it to factory settings, force quitting phone app, reboot and safe mode reboot, all to no avail.
Thanks in advance,
Calle

Sounds like the only way to find an answer. I have literally not seen a single post on the net having the same issue as the one I have. It worked fine today and yesterday when I used the ear speaker, the day before that it didnt work, so I understand nothing. I have not made any changes between when it didnt work and when it worked. :/
Well, thanks for your help.

A few days ago I tried to help a guy with Bose External Speakers and we found the male jack isn't quite long enough to make the connection:
PROBLEM SOLVED!!
Just to share information for others who might come across this problem with Bose or any other external speakers, where the male jack doesn't quite go in far enough for the MacBook to recognize it, here is the solution that worked for me:

This is a very inexpensive solution and works great for me. I'm listening to my Bose speakers now and they sound great!! Thank you to all of you for your suggestions and help troubleshooting.

Read Out loud is not working

I can't get some PDF to read out loud. Any idea why? I am able to select and copy the texts so it's not an image for sure. If I paste the texts to word or some other app, I can use the text to speech from my Mac OS to read out loud and it's working fine. Any suggestion is much appreciated.

Here's something new. This is one, http://www.ponemon.org/local/upload/file/NokNokWP_FINAL_3.pdf, of the many files that read out loud did not work. After reading your email, I thought I tried something new. The PDF in this link here read out loud fine in Safari and Chrome browser but when I downloaded to my computer it did not work in both Reader or Pro v11.0.10. I have a MacBook Pro Yosemite. That is very strange.

IPhone 4 phone speaker not working

Have seen a lot of posts on this issue, but not as much recently, at least nothing with a working solution.
2 days ago, the phone ear speaker stopped working on my iPhone4.
-Speakerphone still works
-Earbuds still work
-Mouthpiece still works (others can hear me).
-Cannot hear voicemails through the ear speaker either.
I have tried:
-Restore via iTunes
-Reset via phone
-Cleaning the ear phone port
-Cleaning the ear speaker grill
I have a 15 month old iPhone 4 running OS 5.0.1
Any ideas out there?

I had this exact problem. I upgraded to 5.1 and thought that WAS the issue. BUT I found a person who said they pressed around the earphone jack and ear speaker and got theirs working. So I took the phone out of my Otter Box and did that, it still didn't work... BUT the struggle of getting the phone back in the Otter Box apparently triggered something that worked as everything is back to normal... for now. So it was a harware issue. Hope this helps!

IPhone 4 ear speaker not working after 2 restores and cleaning the headphone socket.

Hi,
I know this problem is not uncommon, but here goes...
I have an iPhone 4 which was running iOS 5.1.1 a few days ago when the ear speaker stopped working. I cant hear the other person when I make or recieve a call, but nothing else is wrong with the phone. It is 18 months old.
I've searched the discussions and seen some of the suggestions. I tried cleaning out the headphone socket, with no luck. I then tried a full restore and update to iOS 6. This appeared to have worked. I tried 2 calls and I could hear the other person. I then left the phone alone for a couple of hours and when I tried it again, it had stopped working again.
I have since done another full restore but the speaker is still not working at all. The fact that it worked after the first restore suggests it's something simple or software related but I have no idea what else to try other than getting it repaired in a shop. The problem is I am in Japan where my network (Softbank) and an independent repair shop have both quoted me the equivalent of $176 / £110 to fix it.
Does anyone know anything else I can try before I give in and end up shelling out this ridiculous cost for something that is probably a 20 minute fix?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I have the exact same problem with my ear speaker after my IOS 6 upgrade. My speakers work, bluetooth works, the earphones work, but the ear speaker doesn’t work. I noticed this IMMEDIATELY after the upgrade was completed. I also have the following problems:
-Very slow call connect time. 30 - 45 seconds just to connect is typical. Signal strength is 5 bars (ATT)
-Problems attaching to known networks
-Very slow internet browsing with many timeouts on both the ATT 3G service and known Wi-Fi networks.
- My camera was missing after the IOS 6 upgrade. I restored that from Restrictions inside of the Settings App
- Music was so screwed up it was easier to just restore it
I went to the Apple store hoping to get some support. Between my wife, my son, and myself we have purchased 4 iPhones and an iPad over the last few years with plans to purchase another iPad in a month or so. So it’s not like I' not familiar with Apple Technology and their typical level of support.
The individual who waited on me was rude and condescending. He insisted that all of the problems were hardware related or ATT’s fault, or my fault. He further asserted that IOS 6 had NOTHING to do with any of the problems. I pointed out that it would be quite a coincidence for my hardware to break, for ATT to have network problems, and for me to suddenly forget how to use an iPhone at the same exact moment that IOS 6 had been installed. He maintained his position and offered to sell me another phone.
I don’t expect the folks in the store to reprogram the OS. Mistakes happen. I’m going to guess that Apple’s OS programmers are already working on a fix for many of the IOS 6 complaints that are easy to find on Google. Assigning blame to the customer and denying any responsibility is not a model for success or customer service. I’m sure Apple wouldn’t accept that kind of excuse from their component manufacturers and don’t think it is how they should deal with their customers. Further, Apple wants to own the device. They want to control the apps, the OS, battery, the delivery channel. I’m good with that so long as when there is a problem, they own that as well.
And BTW… I’m not including the maps in my list of issues with IOS 6 because I kind of like the new maps and am willing to give Apple the benefit of the doubt. I believe that their map service will get a lot better in a hurry.
