Mute Internal Speaker when playing music

I like using the iPhone's internal speaker to play music at my desk while im working, however sometimes its a pain in the butt to have to wake the phone up...unlock it.. and then pause/mute it.
Is there some other quick way to do this? the sleep/wake button keeps the music playing. I know the volume buttons on the side work, but they are not the easiest things to hit with my Zcase on the phone.

Yeah..not 5 seconds after postng that question i figured it out.
Still not as simple as a pause button..but faster than unlocking the phone.
they should make 3 taps of the home button while locked pause or something.

  • HT201401 Why is it that all the sound comes out of the right speaker when playing music? The left speaker seems to be blocked or damaged what do i do to be certain that there may be a problem?

    I have just noticed whilst playing music on my iphone4 that the sound doesn't  play on the left side, as if it has broken..not sure whats going on. I have tried different songs ..changed EQ but i think think is internal. This has happened recently as i noticed the change in sound straight away.

    So why is it that my friend who is directly in front of me with iphone 4 and both speaker holes sound... Yet another friend next to me has same problem as me? We are covering one finger over one side and comparing. Left no sound.

  • Loud speaker when play music or on phone call is quiet

    When I play music on the speaker my sound is very quiet on my iphone like the max volume isnt that much and louspeaker when im on the phone is very quiet I was just wondering how to fix it I think its the dust that has got into it blockinbg some of the little holes and just wondering how to clean it I have a 3g 8gb iphone if that helps thanks.

    No, there's nothing wrong with it in all likelihood.
    The single speaker is only 1mm across so you shouldn't expect a big volume - I assume you have turned up the loudspeaker volume ?

  • Loud static on left speaker when playing music

    Well I have officially tried everything in my power to fix this problem. it is probably not much to some, but nonetheless i am annoyed by this software.
    anytime i wish to play anything on iTunes 7, only LOUD static comes out of the left speaker of my laptop. even when the volume is low. I have been to the quicktime menu to fiddle with the safe mode and frequency. uninstalling and reinstalling is hopeless. and i thought it would fix itself when an iTunes 7 update came out, no.
    also, i am not sure if this is connected, but anytime I wish to play a video on iTunes it closes and i get the send error report message. and when trying to play it in quicktime every video doesnt play and all the titles are "Untitled 2" while it play perfectly in the IE windows.
    i would really like to get matter solved becuz all my music is so well organized on itunes and i dont want to start that process over for a new program.
    best regards

  • I have no sound when playing music but ringtones and speak phone works!

    I have an iPhone 4s and all of a sudden I cannot hear any sound when playing music or watching tv etc via my phone but I can hear my ringtone and text etc and I can also hear calls if I place them on speakerphone!
    I have performed a hard reset and also plugged my phone into iTunes but this still hasn't solved the problem.
    Unfortunately my phone has a cracked screen....totally unrelated to the sound problem as everything was working fine after I dropped the phone, however, as I have been informed, this has now invalidated the warranty from apple, even though I am not asking them to fix the screen, just the speaker, therefor I am not entitled to a new phone from apple! Anyway.....if anyone out there can help me in anyway, or can suggest anything that I can try to fix this problem, please, please let me know.
    Many thanks in advance.

    My headphones work by the way.
    Also, when I try to increase, or decrease the volume when playing music or trying to listen to something....even my videos, the buttons on the side do not adjust the volume or attempt to adjust it. I have gone into settings and sound and made sure my phone is not on mute and made sure the setting is checked so that the buttons on the side control the volume! I just don't know what to do!

  • The sound quality of my speaker suddenly got really poor when playing music or videos.  Sounds like an old AM radio or Sputnik.  Pretty sure it's hardware related but maybe not.  Thoughts on what the problem might be and if it can be repaired?

    The batterys the ipods come with are very sensetive somtimes they dont react right to the first couple of charges. Try fully charging it and then leaving it on until its completely drained a few times. If that doesnt work it might be a lemon.

  • Static noise from hi-fi speaker when no music is playing

  • My iPhone 4 has no sound when playing music or videos-help please?!

    Hi - my phone has stopped having any sound when playing music or videos, no volume bar either. No key noises either - but I can live without those!! I can hear sound through headphones, though sometimes that's intermittent. I have tried cleaning ports, restarting it, restoring it, pressing right hand corner of screen, taking headphones in and out repeatedly, pressing speaker twice whilst making call, blowing air into charging port, flicking volume switch on and off on side etc yet nothing has worked. Please can anyone else help? Apple want £135 plus vat to service it which isn't worth it in my opinion!

    Is the mute switch on?
    Is Do Not Disturb mode enabled?

  • Mute internal speaker in Windows XP?

    I have external speakers connected to the Mini through the headphones port. But the internal speaker isn't muted. Just about every other computer I've ever used behaves differently -- plug something into the headphones port and the internal speaker goes mute.
    This is in WindowsXP -- I haven't had a chance to test the behaviour in Mac OS. (Though I think this is a hardware issue and independent of the OS)

    If you used the boot camp program to install Windows, it is a problem with the audio driver that apple uses for windows. It does not currently allow the built in audio port to switch off the internal speaker when something is plugged into it.
    It behaves properly in Mac OS.

  • Creative Roar SR20A continuously prompts "TeraBass On/Off" When Playing Music While Charging

    I have noticed that when playing music for a while (over an hour or so) on the Roar while charging causes the speaker to prompt "Tera Bass On" and "Tera Bass Off" continuously every one or two seconds. This continues till I switch off the charging and then its functions normally. I believe this happens once the unit gets fully charged. Has somebody faced this issue??? Is there a fix for it??? This is an annoying bug in the firmware.

    You may need to do a Restore in iTunes.
    Clicking sounds from an iPod that has a hard drive is probably not a good thing.  It is possible that your iPod's hard drive is becoming unreliable.
