Sound problems since IOS 6 update

Yesterday I updated my iPhone 4s to IOS 6 and since I´ve experienced problems with my speakers. Before the update my phone was working like a charm, but now the sound I low and sound metallic. I've been looking online for solution, but nothing helps!! All volume bottoms are on high, the mono sound is off and I have several times rebooted the phone.. All without luck. I´m desperate so please help..

iPhone 4S, iOS 6

So I noticed 6.1.1 was available this morning and it specifically related to 4S issues.
I was sooo hoping for the sound fix, but yet again, disappointed.

It's been over 2 months since the sound worked properly on my phone.


Apple, if you can watch this video and tell me with certainty that this is NOT a software issue, I'll buy another phone from you.

Updated my iPhone 4S to iOS6 on 19 sept.

At first problem with sound, but only for few hours, than back to normal.

Again but for good.

Works only ringtone, timer, SIRI and sometimes unlock sound.

No sound on music, videos, apps, txt messages, keybord cliks etc. The volume buttons are blank, show only speaker with no bars like just to do.

Also the app store if I wanted to download any thing it pop a massage the I can not down load from Canda, India, .......... and other countrys store as it is not my country's store.

Is there any solution or we have to give up the Iphone and go to Android .... !!!!?????

I just updated to iOS 6.1.1 yesterday morning and now when I call someone, they can obviously hear their phone ringing but when they pick up they can hear me sounding very frustrated at the other end as I don't even know I've been connected to them - I hear nothing at all as its ringing or once it connects...?! The sound is working just fine for all other features on the phone though, strangely!

Having the same issues here...but i'm clueless.

I had an iPhone 4 16GB i sold yesterday ...using iOS 6.1 ...and the sound from every speaker was loud as it should be.

I got an iPhone 4 32GB that i updated to 6.1 ...and the sound is poor!

I just had one event when the sound controls bugged and the phone did not produce any sound.


But i just wont admit it is a phone issue....since the main speaker and the upper one (used to hear calls) sound very low. Coincidence? I dont think so...


Do we have to get used to this?😕

i have the same issue with you guys since i update my ios 6.1.2... this is the 1st time i bought an apple product because i they say it is a good product. (i'm using samsung product before and dont have any problems with them)

i just got mine for almost 3 weeks and starting to learn this iphone 4s. and now seeing a lot post saying about the update,... its already 3days since this sound issue with my phone. it will fix after 12hrs and will come back again... hope apple will do there part for their consumers. update should be for the good of the product and user not frustrate them. hope you can give an update with this issue and i know that is one of many issue you getting since you release the update of ios6
