My iphone sound is not working. HELP

I just bought my iphone 3g today. Everything seems to be working well. No crashes. Everything synced well also.
But for some reason the sound seems to be not working. From the sounds setting, I turned off both vibrates and even put the volume to the fullest. Everything else is set ON. I tried playing music but that won't work either. I turned it on and off and that won't work either. Is there a secret button that I'm totally ignoring? I'm going to go in tomorrow to see whats up but I'm hoping to fix the problem tonight if I can. I will appreciate any help I can get.

It might sound silly, but I had this happen on my 1st gen iPhone a few months ago. It was as if the thing was totally muted, I couldn't play any music or hear anyone on a phone call. I really thought my phone was broken. I talked to an apple rep and they asked me to plug my headphones in, then remove them. lol That fixed the problem. For some reason, the phone thought the headphones were still plugged in and it was routing all audio to the headphone jack instead of the speaker/earpiece. Plugging the headphones in, then removing them told the phone they weren't plugged in anymore and it worked fine after that.
Hopefully your problem is as simple as that.

  • My Iphones sound is not working.

    It is not the switch on the side or any silent settings. My Iphone 4 alerts are just not working I have everything turned up as loud as it will go and nothing works! Help please!

    To be honest these are the solutions that may or may not work.
    First thing I would try is rebooting the phone by holding the sleep/wake button and home button for 15 seconds until you see the white apple logo.
    If that doesn't work I would restore from backup. If that doesn't work I would restore as new. If all else fails take it to your closest apple store they may replace the phone for a working one..

  • Can not update to IOS 6.1.2 on iphone 4 & apps not working - HELP!!

    my iphone 4 says there is an update available to IOS 6.1.2 when i click on "install now" nothing happens! the wording goes faint but no update actually happens! I updated to IOS 6.1.2 on my ipad and noticed that is said "download and install now" but on my iphone it only says "install now" (not sure if this matters) also my facebook and twitter apps no longer work in my iphone 4 and my calender freezes everytime I go to use it! HELP PLEASE!!! Thanks

    The firewall would be in your router.
    I would just keep retrying. The update is first downloaded. Then the update is expanded and then the iPod contacts the Apple server to verify the update. For some reason at that time the iPod can't contact the Apple server.  That has happened to me and it went through after one or two retries.

  • No sound, mic not working, help!

    friends,
    So i plugged my ibook G4 into a speaker. it worked great. That's normal, just out of the headphones jack. then I plugged a keyboard into that same speaker, and played it, it worked too. but then when i went back to the computer, it wouldn't make a sound, so i unplugged the speaker, and now no sound will come out of the speakers on the computer either. I also then tried recording my voice into garage band, and it doesn't pick up anything, so i don't think the speakers are blown, maybe a soundcard issue, but i've searched and am yet to find any way to fix it. I've gone into the SOUND area of the system prefferences, but nothing there seemed to make a difference, unless i didn't do something right. Please help me out! thanks!

    Have you checked system preferences under 'sound'? Mine keeps saying I have no output devices. Since installing Leopard I have been on the phone with Applecare for a total of about 4 hours trying resolve the loss of sound. They have had me do several different power management restarts and this solves the problem for a few days.

  • Sound Effects Not Working, HELP!!

    Hey my sound EFX are no longer working. My sound works though. but when I send something to the trash there's no noise, nor when I empty it. Same when I delete a track in iTunes, or get an iChat IM, there's no effect noise. What can I do? I tried restarting a few times. Thanks

    I am having the same problem with an intel imac and all the settings are correct but no sound effects. All other sound is fine. Only happened after the last security update ???

    You likely have some security software (e.g., firewall) getting in the way.

  • My Pokerist app sound does not work, only with headphones....can anyone help me? Thank you

    My Pokerist app sound does not work.  It will only work if I have head phones on.  All other sound works, songs, video etc.  I deleted the app, then installed again still no sound.  It is not the app because I also have a IPhone and the sound works on Pokerist.  If anyone can help me I would appreciate it.
    Thank you

  • My iphone 4 is not working and I cant reset it from the computer either because it wont connect to it I need help!!!

    My iphone 4 is not working and I cant reset it from the computer either because it wont connect to it I need help!!!
    1. I tried connecting it to itunes for a system reset and it didnt work.
    2. The phone wont even turn on!!!

    If the phone wont turn on it sounds like it needs to be charged.  Plug it into a charger and wait about 15 minutes and try turning it on while still charging. Have you tried holding in your home button with the on/off button held in?  Hold them both together until the apple logo comes up and then release them.  The screen will blink off an on while it is resetting. I still think this is a battery issue. Good luck~

  • My iPhone's sound does not work except for the alarm and the volume bar is not there.

    Hi, thank you in advance if you can help.
    When my iphone 4 is not plugged in to headphones the sound does not work, and if I try to adjust the sound with the plus and minus buttons in the side it comes up like normal saying "Ringer" but then there is no bar underneath it. Sometimes the sound will work for a couple of minutes. However, there is definitely no problem with the speaker as the alarm always works perfectly fine.
    I have tried restoring it, this did not help.

    what you could even try is to write down a few contacts that you would need to get through a single day, restore it to factory, punch in those few odd contacts,
    No.  What he should be doing is syncing his contacts to an app on his computer or cloud service, then sync them back to the phone (without restoring the backup). 
    Never rely on the backup for contacts.  The contact info stored there may be incomplete and is only meant to maintain the recent calls and favorites lists.

  • The sound is not working on my iphone

    the sound is not working on my iphone it has suddenly stopped can someone please help me?

    None of these methods worked, so I just took a very thin paintbrush and dampened it using a Clorox wipe. Then, I just wiggled it around in the charging port. The sound worked for like 3 seconds then it stopped again. So I continued to clean it and it worked! After I listened to my music for about 30 minutes until it stopped again. I just blew hard into the port and it started working again. I think the problem was that the phone thought it was docked into speakers because it was so dirty. I think I'm going to get an Otterbox so this doesn't happen again. I hope I helped.
