No sound on Apple Watch SE

My Apple Watch SE (WatchOS 10.5) no longer makes any sound. Nothing. No incoming calls, no voicemail, no alarms, no alerts. No sound at all.


The watch is not on vibrate, theatre mode or do not disturb.


Volume is on maximum.


Watch has been erased and re-paired with iPhone.


iPhone and Apple Watch have been reset. I did several hard resets on the Apple Watch. No success.


Any ideas what is wrong? Has the speaker finally died on my watch?

Try this:

  1. Open Voice Memos
  2. Make a test recording
  3. Playback that recording (be sure to scroll the Digital Crown to adjust the volume)

If the recording doesn’t play, then your speaker may be broken. If it does play, than it’s likely a software issue.
