How to fix sounds?

Hey there rovick208,

Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. To get started, are you having issues with hearing audio when playing a song or app on your iPhone, or are you experiencing issues with not being able to hear someone while on a phone call?

For steps that can help with troubleshooting these issues, take a look at the steps listed in the following resource: If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support

Follow these steps

1. 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 open Control Center and make sure that Silent Mode is off. 

2. Open Settings > Focus > Do Not Disturb and make sure that Do Not Disturb is off.

If you want to try more steps on your own

If you prefer, here are some more steps you can try on your own. After following these steps, you might still need to contact Apple Support to discuss service options.

1. Remove all screen protectors, films, or cases from your device. 

2. Check the speaker opening to see if it's blocked or dirty. On iPhone only, make sure that the receiver isn't blocked or dirty. 

3. If necessary, clean the speaker or receiver opening with a small, soft-bristled brush. Make sure that the brush is clean and dry.

4. Go to Settings > Sounds (or Settings > Sounds & Haptics), and drag the Ringer and Alerts slider back and forth a few times. If you don't hear any sound, or if your speaker button on the Ringer and Alerts slider is dimmed, your speaker might need service.

5. If you hear sound, try making a call with your iPhone and turn on speakerphone. On iPad or iPod touch, make a FaceTime call. If you still can't hear, or hear static or crackling, then your network or reception could be the issue. Try to call again later, or from a different location.

If still having issues after going through the steps above, we'd recommend reaching out to Apple Support directly from this link here: Get Support - Apple

We hope that's able to help.

Take care!
