iPhone keeps switching to phone speakers when playing music

When I use my iPhone 7 with wired headphones, it connects to the phone properly and shows up as “Dock speaker” but when I play music it switches to the phone speakers. How do I fix this?

iPhone 7, iOS 15

Hi CDRedstone,


We understand your headphones are not working with an iPhone. We're happy to offer some guidance.


If no audio is coming from your headphones, you'll want to follow these steps to determine if the issue is coming from the headphones or the iPhone: If your headphones don't work with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Make sure to check your lighting port/audio port for any debris that may be affecting the connection.


Once you've determined where the issue is coming from, we'd recommend contacting Apple for assistance: Get Support


Hope this helps. Cheers!
