IPhone 4s stuck in silent mode?

My IPhone 4s is stuck in silent mode. The red dot is not showing; my volume is turned up all the way. But when I get calls or texts, my phone only vibrates, and I can't hear the keyboard clicks. I know my speaker still works because I can get Siri to talk and I can hear my music playing. I've restarted it and restored it. It's not stuck in headphone mode, because even with headphones in I can't hear alert sounds or keyboard clicks. Any help so I can avoid the Genius Bar?

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.0.2

I have the same problem with my iPhone. I believe the silent switch is broken. I found a little work around though. Go to Settings-General-Accessibility scroll to the very bottom and turn on AssistiveTouch. In the top left corner of your screen a black box with a circle will appear. Select it then select device. A menu will pop up and on the right will be a selection for Mute/Unmute. You can then go back and turn off AssistiveTouch and the setting will remain applied.

Hope this helps you out.

Flick the switch(located on the left side of the iphone:the one you called red) and it should work. Then increase teh volume using the buttons beside the switch. If that does'nt work, then Call customer services as there is a manufacturing fault:
