Low volume on IPhone 12 mini
Is this a known issue? My ringer has patchy volume or nearly inaudible. Can’t hear phone ringing or notifications. But can hear callers and the sound works when choosing tones.

Hello November10vibe,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
If we understand your post correctly, the volume on your iPhone is patchy and almost inaudible and you're not able to hear when you receive calls. We'd like to help!
The article that you came from, If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker, is a good resource for this issue.
"Check your sound settings
If your device has a Ring/Silent switch, move the switch forward—toward the device's display—so that orange isn't showing. If you're using an iPad, you can also swipe down from the top-right corner to view Control Center and make sure that Silent Mode is off.Â
Open Settings > Do Not Disturb and make sure that Do Not Disturb is off.
Clean your receivers and speakers
Remove all screen protectors, films, or cases from your device. Check the speaker opening to see if it's blocked or dirty. On iPhone only, make sure that the receiver is not blocked or dirty. If necessary, clean the speaker or receiver opening with a small, soft-bristled brush. Make sure that the brush is clean and dry."
Have you also checked to make sure that the mute button on the left side of your phone isn't enabled?Â
