No sound unless the earphones are plugged in

After using my iphone 4s with earphones the other day i no longer have any sound with out the earphones. when you press the side + and - nothing happens

Hey there alambert6629,
It sounds like you are not getting sound from the speaker on your phone after having used the headphones with it last time. I would try these steps from the following article named:
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.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

  • Grandson's ipod touch plays the music if the earphones are plugged in but not if it is unplugged and on the ipod docking station nor do the external speakers work.  What is wrong?

    I won an ipod touch and gave it to my grandson for Xmas but sometimes the external speakers do not emit music but the music can be heard with the earplugs in.  It also will not play on the docking station speakers.  What is wrong.  Of course Apple is sayin there is no warranty.

    Try to reset the iPod by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again and let it start up. You will not lose any data doing a reset.
    If this does not help, set it up as new device again, explained in this article: How to back up your data and set up as a new device

  • Sound does'nt shut down when earphones are plugged in. Ipad Mini.

    Sound doesn't shut down when earphones are plugged in. Same earphones used with other ipad or iphone give no problem.

    might be a hardware issue with the headphone jack. Try cleaning it with a dry soft toothbrush to remove lint and dust.
    If that doesn't help:
    Try doing a hard reset for the iPad: Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't solve the issue, you could also try backing up the device and restoring the device as new.
    In that case, follow the steps in: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
    If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    If you're not able to restore the device, this one might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Using that last article will erase everything on the device, so make sure you have a backup!
    Good luck

  • My phone thinks the headphones are plugged in and I can't get any sounds.  How to fix?

    My iphone 5 thinks that the headphones are plugged in and they are not.  I used them earlier today but they are no longer plugged in to the phone. I can't get any sound (text alerts, ringing, etc) on the phone outside headphones.  Any ideas on how to fix?

    I have resolved my own problem thanks to reviewing other discussions. The solution that worked for me and that was suggested by an Apple store associate some time ago was to plug and unplug my headphone jack into the iPad four times. On the fourth time leave the headphone jack connected and rotate the plug clockwise, then remove and try your sound. When you use the external volume control the HEADPHONE label should be gone. It appears I have to do this now every time after I've used my headphone jack.

  • Why cant i hear siri unless my headphones are plugged in

    why cant i hear siri unless my headphones are plugged in

    Perhaps the volume is all the way down for Siri on your phone.  Siri has its own volume control.  Start Siri and then turn up the volume with the button on the side and see if you hear it.

  • Music stops while earphones are plugged in

    Hello,
    I have an ipod touch 8gb. While the music is playing, the sounds stops but the song is still playing. I have to unplug the earphones and plug it back in. When I first listen to a song, 2 seconds in, I have to unplug and re-plug. This happens all the time.
    BTW i didn't upgrade to the latest version.
    Anyone else have this problem? How do I get it to play normally?
    Thanks.

    It sounds like dirt in the headphone jack. I would use a vacuum cleaner to "suck" out any dirt that might be in there. You might also want to look carefully and see if anything in lodged in there.

  • Ipod Touch 4th gen has no sound except when headphones are plugged in

    I have checked sound settings, reset the ipod, powered off, and synced it.  Still no sound except when the headphones are plugged in.  Any ideas?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
