Mar 4, 2013 8:40 AMby th3d3vilzSon,You could try resetting all settings of your phone. This will not delete anything exept preferences and settings including the background of the phone. If this does not work I would do a backup and restore to determine any hardware issues. Your iPhone 5 should definately still be under warranty. Here's an article that may help. If this doesn't solve the issue with you sound, contact your local Apple store or call 1-800-MY-APPLE.
