Hey there Maximilian0000,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand audio messages are not playing back as expected. We’ll be happy to help.


If all other audio is working and this is just your audio messages that are affected, it sounds like this could be software related but just to be on the safe side, please review all the steps in these articles and see if they have any impact on this:


If the microphones on your iPhone aren't working

If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker


This will cover a lot including cleaning your speakers and mics, removing cases and more. You may want to make sure your device is up to date as well:


Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


We hope this helps.


Take care.
