iPhone sound with hdmi

Using an hdmi cable to connect an iPhone 11 to a tv but I have no sound. However another iPhone 11 using the same cable does have sound to the tv. Why isn’t the first one working???

Hello DMJ58,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. There could be various factors that might be causing this audio issue. We'd like to recommend some steps to help further isolate this issue. Follow these steps below:


1.) Restart your iPhone to help refresh things.

2.) Check if Silent is enabled: If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support

3.) Check if any debris might be in your Lightning port: Cleaning your iPhone - Apple Support

4.) Install any pending updates that might be available for your iPhone. This can usually help with unique issues, since updates include fixes. Just in case, this link can guide you through the update process: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


1.)Back up your device using iCloud or your computer.
2.)Plug your device into power and connect to the internet with Wi-Fi.
3.)Go to Settings > General, then tap Software Update.
4.) If you see more than one software update option available, choose the one that you want to install.
5.) Tap Install Now. If you see Download and Install instead, tap it to download the update, enter your passcode, then tap Install Now. If you don't know your passcode, learn what to do.



We hope these steps help you out. Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
