Audio playing through the front microphone

How can i change audio output on my iphone 12pro max, when i play videos or music, anything that produces sounds, the audio now plays from the front microphone instead of the speaker. And this problem started once I updated to the IOS version before the current release of IOS 17.

I’ve tried the audio/visual options of balancing the left/right speakers, restarted my iphone a couple of times even went as far as to reset the phones settings but still it won’t use the normal audio speaker, and when i use the “Phone doctor plus” app to run diagnostics, it says everything is fine. What should I do? Anyone? Apple?
