iPhone XS volume buttons and headset volume buttons not working

Hi all, I cannot adjust the volume via the buttons on the side or via the buttons on my iOS headphones. I have tried changing settings and also restarting the phone. Anyone else had this issue?

I can adjust the volume of calls and music via the control panel.

iphone 11 volume control not working Hello, i can't get a hold of controlling the volume of sound/calls on my iphone. if i use the side button i see the graphic column of the volume adjusting accordingly, but the volume remains the same. I have no idea how this started, so i am stuck with low volume phone calls and rather high volume of music (which should be the correct way to live life anyway, but i still need to be able to adjust). can anyone help?

iPhone 7 Plus: Ringer volume buttons not working I can no longer adjust the ringer volume using the buttons on the left side. The buttons now only control the system volume (like Siri’s volume, etc.) The “Change with Buttons” setting is on. I’ve turned it on and off a number of times. Restarted my phone and turned it off and on. Still no luck. Could this be related to the most recent iOS 14 update? It worked fine before. It’s inconvenient to have to go into Settings each time I want to adjust the ringer volume. Any ideas or suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

The volume buttons does not work on a Call on iOS 16.1.1 Hi, i have a iPhone 12, since I upgraded to ios 16.1.1 I can’t modify the volume when I am on a call or when I am listening an audio message using the built-in audiphone. This is very frustrating when the volume is too low. Other IPhone with the 16.0.5 iOS version works fine, but then, I upgrade to 16.1.1 and i have the same problem. Could be a bug? BR Diego
