I am glad you got this resolved. That's great!


if that had not solved the issue, and for other users who may find this discussion by searching...


... there is one more VERY obscure setting that (at this writing) can influence where Audio appears

{ iPhone speaker -OR- Hearing Device }


Settings > Accessibility > Voice Over > Audio ...

... Auto-select Speaker in Call (OFF )


During audio calls, automatically switch to the [iPhone] speaker

when not holding your iPhone to your ear.
