Audio Issues with FaceTime

Having issues with iPhone 13 pro max. Running most up to date software version.


Sound is barely audible only when using FaceTime video and FaceTime Audio on speakerphone. Volume is turned all the way up. No issues with speakerphone during cellular calls, audio play back from voice memos, or videos played in Safari or apps. Is this a bug or software issue?

My wife had the same problem with her new iPhone 13 Pro. Technician at the Apple store solved the problem as follows:

  1. Open settings and scroll down to Accessibility.
  2. choose Accessibility and scroll to Audio/Visual
  3. Select Audio/Visual. Confirm that Mono Audio is off and Balance is in the center position.

This resolved the problem.

I have tried all the steps also and had no luck. I went in to apple and was there for hrs with them to tell me it could be my lens protector. That was a shot in the dark and a way to get me out because I told them I had just got the lens protector the day prior and it was doing since day one. I have ran through all my settings and can’t find the fix.

Same thing happened to me at Verizon. The rep acted as if he never heard of this problem and even when i mentioned that several people that I know is having the same issue along with a blog full of people. He says yeah well that’s maybe 100 out of Thousands so I won’t say everyone. Ok smart ***…too many people who are having an issue with an expensive brand new phone. Fix it
