Phone speakers stopped playing music or video sound?

Phone speakers won't play music, game or video sound.  Headphone jack, Bluetooth & docking stations work fine.  Ringtones work.  Reset phone but didn't solve problem  

Hello Abbercrombie,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:

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.
Have a nice day,
Mario

  • My Ipad has worked fine for a year and now it won't play music or videos

    My Ipad has suddenly stopped playing music and videos??

    Swipe your phone to unlock and enter your passcode.
    You needed to enter a passcode before using the touch id.
    If you touch id isn't working, then erase the old print and re do it.
    I use two prints and have no issues using it.

  • IPhone 4 stops playing music through AUX and/or Bluetooth

    I recently updated to 5.1.1 and my phone will stop playing music through the headphone/AUX jack. Pulling out the cord and plugging it back in reinitiates the music, but it will stop soon afterwards again. The song is still playing (becauseplay icon still up). Thought it was a problem with the cord, but other iPhones (not updated--friends phones) work just fine for long periods with no interruption.
    I checked out the headphone jack looking for lint or debris and did not find any, so I did a restore. After restore of phone same problem, random cutting out using the headphone jack.
    This morning it is doing the same cutting out while playing music with my Bluetooth Bose speaker... so I tested it with my physical stereo system dock, again, music cuts out...
    What is going on with my phone?
    (Keep in mind that I've tested all my music devices--Bluetooth speaker, physical stereo dock, and car aux jack/cord with other NON-updated iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S with no problems like the one I am having.)
    Thank you.

    I can confirm that I have exactly the same issue - music cuts out when using headphones.  Sometimes it goes from play to stop and I can click play to start it again. Other times it stops (but is still playing) and I have to unplug and plug the headphone jack in again.  Seemed tgo start after turnign on iTunes Match - Although the songs that stop are not in the cloud - they are on my phone.  I have disabled itunes match to see if that will help and will report back...

  • 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?

  • My phone stops playing music

    My phone asha 501 stops playing music.when I try to replay ut says your phone does not support this file type. To resolve this I need to restart my phone.what do I do???

    Hi. Where have you gotten the music files? Or are you streaming online?
    If these files are already saved in the phone, did you download them using the phone via an app or did you transfer them from a PC?
    What is the format of the file? Do you encounter the same issue with videos?

    Although you say you have let the battery drain, was it for long enough? Since nothing else that you've tried so far has worked, I suggest that you leave the iPod unplugged for at least four days, preferably a week. That way, if something is stopping the iPod from turning the screen on, then whatever it is will drain the battrey. However, since the screen isn't on, that may take longer than if the screen was on.
    Then, after that time, plug the iPod into a power source and leave it alone for at least thirty minutes. Only after thirty minutes will it show any signs of life, but you should leave it until it is fully charged before trying to use it.
    If you get to this stage, the fact that the battery has drained will cause the iPod to reset when it springs back to life.
    Let us know how you get on.

  • 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.

  • Why do my speakers not play music? I know they work because when I go I change my ringtone all the sounds play. I am not a very happy costumer right now and would like an answer to my problem. Thanks.

    What happens when you play music? Do the hardware volume controls work when using the Music app?

  • Why is it that my iPhone 4 suddenly lost the sound bar in music and YouTube?  I am able to make phone calls, but otherwise my iPhone is silent.  It says that it is playing music, but no sound is emmitted, nor am I able to change this.

    Not knowing what steps were included in "all the troubleshooting possible with Apple people," I'll suggest you give the phone a chance to reprovision your cellular account.
    First turn off Wi-Fi. Then power off your phone. Hold the Sleep/Wake button until you see the power off slider. Then slide to power off. Turn the phone back on. After the phone starts watch to see if No Serive is displayed. Hopefully after 15-30 seconds that will change to the name of your cellular service provider and finally indicate LTE or 4G as well as include some dots indicating signal strength. You can then turn Wi-Fi back on.

  • I am trying to play music and videos but the volume will not show on the screen unless i have head phones in also the buttons on the side will not change my ringtone volume

    its not showing the headphone sign its showing ringer when i press the button but no volume i have tryed to restore it but didnot work

  • The sound is static when I play music or videos

    The volume is acting weird when I play music or videos, ie pandora and youtube...and any other app as we'll.

    If the above doesn't work, try reset all settings
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
    Note: Data will not be affected but settings will be reset.

  • My ipod touch will not stop playing music

    My ipod touch will not stop playing music. I will pause the music, leave the playlist, and after 30-60 seconds, the music starts playing again. I use my ipod when I run and when I drive (hook it up to the stereo). It is very annoying when I stop to take a phone call or listen to directions, turn off my music, and then hardly a minute into my stop, the music starts right back up again.

    FUEL1996, not correct. Apple does not allow one app to control another app.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - 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. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Why do I get a constant clicking through my ear buds when playing music or videos?  I am using Samsung phone earbuds.  The clicking is at a 1 second intervals, and actually partially drops out the sounds. Thanks

    Have you tried another set of earbuds so that you can rule out a problem with the Samsung's?
