Sound

Recently the sound on my iPhone XR stopped.

the sound only plays if I shut down Bluetooth. Once I turn on Bluetooth, with no connections, sound stops.

No music on YouTube, SpectrumTV, iTunes etc etc.

All sound works once I turn off Bluetooth.

Have latest version 14.6

iPhone XR, iOS 14

Is a Paired Item Connected?

Any Bluetooth devices close by that are paired with your iPhone? If so, the sound you be going to that - not your iPhone.
