Volume Buttons Not Working on iPhone

In some applications the Volume Buttons on my iPhone 15 Pro running iOS 17.1 just don't respond. I have to adjust the volume through control center. Restarting the phone fixes it temporarily and so does closing the app and reopening sometimes.

Any permanant fixes?

My upper volume is not working at all. Only way to adjust the volume up is to press on the lower volume button and then slide my finger up to increase the volume. I have done everything to fix it, still not working even with the last 17 update. I have an iPhone 15 pro max.

Have the same issue, but sliding the volume up does not work! My IPhone is two weeks old, and thought it was my fault?!? In all these years, thru every generation, I have purchased Apple for my office and for me personally. I never had to look to the Community… THANK You!! Thought I I was doing something wrong! Just tried pulling up the volume slider and manually scrolling it up… that is not working either!! Bought the phone at ATT, do I return it to them or go straight to Apple?!

Cannot believe I just had cancelled my landlines!!

I encountered the same problem a month or so ago after the latest IOS update . I reseted the phone and still didn’t take care of the problem . There was no physical damage to the phone , so I suspect this is either a hardware problem or had something to do with the latest upgrade . No one seems to have a solution.

Top volume button not working on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. Started a few weeks ago. Are people sending their phones back to Apple to get it fixed or waiting for a software update? Looks like this has been happening for months to a lot of users with no software fix.
