Volume buttons won't work

i dropped my iphone in the shower.  yeah, i know, stupid me.  the sound still came out a little gurgled.  i tapped it against my hand a couple times and it became clearer, figuring water was in the speaker area.  i used a blow dryer to see if i could dry out the remainder, but that resulted in the phone going mute.  now the volume buttons done't work at all.  no volume bar comes across the screen at all.  no sound comes from the phone except for when i make calls.  i can hear phone calls but the phone itself no longer makes any sound and the volume buttons do nothing.

the fix was time.  after a few hours, everything came back to normal.

  • My volume buttons won't work. Music plays when I get a phone call. That is the only time my speaker makes noise. My settings are how they should be, the top button is not on silent, I've shut my phone off many times, I've totally restored my phone. Help

  • What do I do if my iPhone 4 volume buttons won't work

  • My 32GB 4G itouch's lock button AND volume button won't work.

    I got my 4G 32GB on Christmas and about two weeks later the lock button and volume button just stopped working. My hands weren't even wet. How do I fix it and how can I restart it without the lock button?

    You may need to make a trip to an Apple Store or other authorized place to have it repaired, assuming it's a hardware issue. If it's a software issue, you can try going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. This will force the iPod to reboot and restore it to factory settings, but you will be able to get your data back from a backup. If it is a hardware issue, then it's time for a trip to the store.

  • My volume buttons won't work on my iPod touch 4th gen.

    Whenever i try to turn it up, it won't work. So i go to the music and turn it up that way, but it slides down and is silent. it will stay for a couple seconds but not for a long time. everything else works, even though the volume pop up that comes on when you fix the volume in an app or on the menu. it goes away when i play music, but it comes back when i hit the home button to go to the menu. i've had it in rice for awhile since it might be water damage, but i don't know what i could do to make it back to the orginal state. please help me?!

  • My iPhone volume buttons won't work, but some volume, no music

    My iPhone will not play any sounds, except for phones calls and my ringer. The volume will not work; when I press them the volume icon pops up on the screen, the volume won't change and the volume bar doesn't move on the screen. Also the volume control slider has disappeared on the locked screen music controls. What should I do? I don't want trade in.

  • My volume buttons won't work on my 2011 macbook pro 13.

    The sound preferences says there is no sound output controls. I have sound but have to change the volume through system preferences. When I plug in headphones it restores the controls. What could be my problem? I have recently installed a driver for the Native Instruments Audio DJ 4 but my problem happens when not connected to this device. Before this I upgraded my hard drive to the Seagate Momentus XT with the latest firmware. Thanks for any input.

    too sad to read this cause my friend MBP 13" just love to have a mic plugged in ... and it work great 
    My bad , it's specified on the store  " support for audio line out "
    I must be drunk the day i read this specs sheet , it was support lin-in/out ...
    Sorry for the useless tread and my bad english .
    But thank you for the clear answer .

  • HT4528 my volume buttons won't work on my iPhone 4s

    if i try to press the buttons it wont change anything.

    You may have Do-Not-Disturb set on.  If you can see a quarter-moon symbol next to your battery indicator, then it is on.
    To turn off, swipe up to get Control Centre and touch the symbol there

  • IPad 2 Rotation, Sleep, and Volume Buttons Don't Work.

    I have an iPad 2 running 7.1.1 (11D201) and just yesterday the sleep sleep and volume buttons don't work, and the screen won't rotate at all.  I have already tried the following:
    Switched the Lock Rotation/Mute settings in General
    Power cycling it
    Held the sleep and menu button to reset it (the button worked for that at least)
    Done a network reset
    Reset All Settings and restored from backup
    Reset All Settings and restored from iCloud
    Erase All Content and Settings and restored from backup
    Erase All Content and Settings and restored from iCloud
    If anyone has any OTHER suggestions besides what I've already tried, I am all ears.  Thanks.

    Go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without be charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • My earphones mic and volume buttons don't work ever since the iOS 8.1 update! Please help me. One discussion person says they bought a new pair and THEY don't work either. What do I do? I'm about to have a breakdown!

    I rely heavily on my earphones because well... I'm lazy but they don't work. They work on my friend's iPhone who hasn't updated yet but I've updayed and the mic and volume buttons don't work. Please make a correct update!

    Nope, still same problem. I did an install, didn't work. Then I completely removed my IDT driver, restarted, installed the driver, restarted, same problem.
    When I troubleshoot my audio it always asks me which one to troubleshoot. It only works if I do one of the "Speakers / HP - IDT" but I don't know why it has so many devices listed with the same name.
    Also, after I troubleshoot and I can hear audio, if I go to "Manage audio devices" it still shows that no audio device is installed, which is why the webinars won't work.

  • Ok I have an fully upgraded iPad 2 and the volume button don't work but it do with headphones can someone help

I try to go to settings and the volume won't go up there either I have the home button gesture and still the same. I try resting my iPad and nothing no sound work unless I have my headphones in. Do anybody know how to fix this

    Did you try rebooting the iPad? You will need to have some battery power for this.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
