See if Apple support's online article can help: What to do: If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support

If you still need help:

If you haven't already, you might want to try re-starting your iPhone (deletes temporary files, re-establishes connections, may update recent setting changes, and often restores order when something is not working as expected): How to: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support

or

You can check if there is an update waiting for you to install:

Settings > General > Software update (it is wise to back-up your data before updating)

If the sound problem-situation still remains:

Wondering where you are noticing sound is so unclear or quiet, and what settings are in use.

If the phone rings and you don't hear there's a call:

Check whether you have the phone on Silent: How to: Silence iPhone - Apple Support

If during phone calls: The volume may need to be adjusted while you are actually on the call.

See Apple support's article: While on a call on iPhone - Apple Support

Eg: says: Adjust the audio during a call

To change the volume, press the volume buttons on the side of iPhone.

Or swipe down on the call banner, then do any of the following:

  • Mute: Tap the mute button.
  • Put the call on hold: Touch and hold the mute button.
  • Talk handsfree: Tap the audio button, then choose an audio destination.

bani ~ With an iPhone 12 Pro possibly being 3½ years old, it's worth checking that the battery is healthy. Because if the battery is weak from age & use, it won't be able to supply sufficient power to generate sounds properly. So...


Does your iPhone 12 Pro still have its original battery?


And what's the Maximum Capacity % here?...


Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charging
