Problem: games sound only by Bluetooth

I played “The Journey” with JBL Pulse 3 connected to my iPhone. After a while I turn off JBL and game audio disappeared. Now any game (for example “Among Us”, “Applaydu” and “The Journey”) plays sound only by Bluetooth device (JBL or BT headset) but not by iPhone speaker. I tried to turn off Bluetooth, turn off iPhone, switch output in Music, but games constantly output audio only by Bluetooth.

Music, Safari and other applications output audio correctly by BT or by speaker according to current active output.

iPhone SE, iOS 15

Sorry, my fault. It seems at some moment “Ring/Silent” button switched to “Silent” occasionally, and I didn’t notice it. Switching it to “Ring” fixed the problem.

Hello den_m,

We understand that you're having trouble with sound outputting through your iPhone when using games. Could you check if your iPhone is currently up to date? Here's how to check:

Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Also, regarding your Bluetooth, have you forgotten the speaker so this way your iPhone doesn't try to connect to it?

Thanks!

When I turn off Bluetooth in iPhone settings, and game doesn’t switch audio output to iPhone speaker — it’s bug or feature?
