If standard troubleshooting and settings toggles fail to fix low and distorted audio after an update, you will need to perform a deep system reset or a clean OS restore, as the update may have corrupted system audio files.

Advanced Software Solutions

  • Reset All Settings: This clears out corrupted audio caches without deleting your personal data. Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset All Settings. 
  • Perform a Recovery/DFU Restore: If a standard update glitch persists, connect your iPhone 15 Pro to a computer (Mac or PC) via cable, put the phone into Recovery Mode, and reinstall iOS entirely using Finder or iTunes. This wipes out stubborn post-update firmware bugs that regular updates leave behind.
  • Check for a Patched Update: Apple frequently releases rapid auxiliary bug-fix updates if a specific build causes widespread audio distortion. Go to Settings > General > Software Update to see if a newer version is waiting.
