The switch above the volume, settings made sure bluetooth is off, plugged and unplugged headphones to try and clear any dirt. Made sure to set it to a built in ringtone.

That is not everything.

If no change after powering the iPhone off and on and/or after a reset, try restoring your iPhone with iTunes.

If no change after that, make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby to determine if there is a hardware problem.

Had the same problem this morning. Checked everything, just like you (made post in another thread). Gave up, took a shower, and returned to the phone and found that it is back to normal - all sounds seem to be working! Strange, but happy!
