I did the same, and it started to work immediately, after upgrading to 6.0 things were fine for a few hours, than I got a random text message, and after opening the text (sounds were there) closed it, sounds were gone.

Finally I just got an old toothbrush- (or get a new one for stronger brissles) applied a small dab of rubbing alcohol to the brush and cleaned the inside of the charge port/connection port on the bottom of the phone, cleaned it very well I might add- taking my time to make sure just not to jam the brush in there and go to town just used the top of the brush to clean the connection/charge port- allowed the alcohol to dry, and now it seems to be working fine.

Though time will tell if this is a permanent fix or not- seems that there is some truth to the dust/lint getting caught up in this connector/charge port and making the iPhone think its still docked somehow.

Good Luck.

Still having this problem, thought I fixed it, but I didn't 😟

I cleaned out the dock port as deep as I could with toothpicks, and seems to be working now. Fingers crossed. Pulled a bunch of cotton/dust/grime out of there, and it looked clean before. Give it a try!

All this...same here. Songs even stop playing after I've figetted with the volume and made that come back on. This is a bug in the new i OS. I can not listen to my music on my iphone any longer. It's broken now.

Apple, you released a really bad operating system, and my precious iPhone has been rendered useless. I expect it fixed ASAP. Or at least a roll back to the old i OS.

Thanks.

Upgraded to iOS 6 on my iPad3 via wifi and had same issues. Sounds via headphones but nothing via speakers despite volume control settings. I fixed my problem by resetting default behavior of mute switch (had changed it to orientation lock prior to upgrade). Once it was set to function as mute again, normal sound for all apps and games through speakers was restored. What an annoying bug.

Heh, that does nothing!

Hey guys, I had the same problem as all the above. A fix for me was plugging my iPhone 4s into my laptop, I could then change the volume at any stage (games and all apps etc.)
After removing again I havn't had any issues with the volume. Try it and let me know if this works for others?

Hi,

I have had these same huge problems myself. The issue is where I connect the power. It seems either the powercable or the plug is damaged so when I unplugged the cable it was still in docking mode.

You can check this my clicking twice on home buttom and scroll far to left. You will then see volume and to the right you can see if its connected to tv, docking or what it should be iphone.

How I fixed this was to take a usb cable and connect it to my laptop and iphone and then unplugged. Checked after with doubletap (love that movie if you know what I mean!) and scrolled to left and now volume was at max and it showed as connected to iphone and no longer docking.

Now all my sounds works great and I get a sound again when I get new emails...!

So this is NOT a bug for me at least, it is either damaged iphone or cable, I am guessing the first one, we was sailing a few weeks ago...

I do NOT read forums, but if more info is needed you can contact me on an at bitpro dot no

Cheers!

Check the YouTube video I made for the fix. Very simple and only takes a couple of minutes!! Anyone can fix this annoying problem!!!

I am running into this problem on a BRAND NEW iPhone 5, so damaged cabling, iphone, etc is NOT an issue. It has to be software related.

I will try the YT vid above and report back, but Apple, please fix this ridiculous software bug!! :|

I suffered the same problem with my iphone-4 iOS 5.0.1.., I tried different ways to fixed it. The only way that fixed my iphone4 problem was CLEANING THE DOCK PORT. I am pretty sure it’s not a bug, many have proven it here.., Just give it a try nothing to loss either.., 🙂

MR TOOOOOOOOOOUTH BRUSHHHHHH THANKKKKK UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU ur solution worked with me also O_O 😀

Hello,

Unfortunately tried most of the methods offered here, none worked, if anyone has more suggestions I'd be more than happy to try.

I do believe it is a bug and not hardware related issue, my i4s is 4 months old, still clean, and never had this issue before.

So please Apple, fix this asap.

The only proper fix was to replace the dock connector, which cost me $25(in T.O Canada) to supply and install by a technician.

New dock connector fixed it 100%. It's not a software glitch. If you dock your iphone and wiggle it around you, eventually you'll get it to work but the problem will come back again.
