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?

I too have a new iPhone 15 Pro Max. I’ve been having probs with the volume not working at times, as if it’s on mute, but it’s not. So I just went to settings n realized that Bluetooth is connected to my ear buds, which I haven’t used n days. I thought they wud disconnect when I put them back n the case. But I just recently started using ear buds so I’m still learning. Apparently I need to go to Settings n disconnect when I’m finished using them bcuz that fixed my volume probs.

I usually have my TV on all day, and sometimes I control the TV through the Apple TV Remote included in the iPhone. I noticed that when my Dynamic Island has the Apple TV in the background the volume buttons don’t work, but when I slide the island to the left or right the buttons work again.


It is not ideal, and definitely needs the attention from Apple but the interaction between the Dynamic Island and the iPhone is the one affecting the buttons.
