On updating to iOS 6.1 this evening I find that I've lost all volume controls, except in the 'Sounds' section of 'Settings'. The hardware buttons don't work; and the slider doesn't appear in apps. There is no sound from the speakers during playback. This is after a couple of power cycles and a hard reset. Is there a fix? Thanks.
iPhone 4, iOS 6.1
What you can try is restoring. Before it is better to back up.
Thank you. I have reset/restarted/restored. None of this has worked. Still no volume slider, volume settings, sound.
It can be hardware problem. I try to take one technical assistance.
It worked fine until the 6.1 update so I suspect it's software.
Strange, never heard. Try to downgrade

I had this same thing in one of our iPods that I just updated.
I went to Tube Player (You Tube clone app) and increased the volume there. It allowed the side buttons to start working again, and sounds came back. I don't know why, but it worked.
Thanks for the suggestion - I tried it, but it didn't work.
I've since established that everything works as it should if headphones are connected. But once the headphones are unplugged, all the sound is off again, the sliders vanish, and the side buttons do nothing. It's a software problem - the speakers do work because the ringer volume can be adjusted within 'Settings' -> 'Sound' - it's just disabled across the rest of the system.
Do you have a docking station? I lost all my sounds and put the phone on my dock. As soon as I dd this all my sounds cam back.
WHY ?
BINGO - thank you sir/madam! Placed the phone on the docking station, took it off again, volume controls were back. Phew!!
Apple won't let you downgrade officially - you have to jailbreak to do it.
Glad it worked for you :-)
I'm having the same sound issue
My phone rings fine but I can't play music via speakerphone, I have to use an earpiece
No youtube video audio, no google+ video audio :/
Sad times indeed
Don't have a lightning dock connector so I can't try the "dock your phone" solution
iOS 6.1 has removed sound, volume controls
