This was fixed on my phone just by opening and closing the Calendar app.

I had the same issue. This is how I solved the problem:


Open a music video or movie and check to see whether the video/movie is playing on an AirPlay device ie, AppleTV or portable speakers.


If playing on portable speakers (in my case Bose system) plug the iPhone in and then play the video/movie, press the AirPlay button (bottom right corner) and select "iPhone" from the list of devices.


After this the sound should return normally to the iPhone.

1- Play any song from the Controller Center (Sliding from botton to top with the screen block) using the Earphones.

2- Disconnect the earphones, (The song will stop), and then whitout the Earphones press play again..

3- Fix it.....it should sounds now.

My wife had the same issue with her iPhone 4. The vomlume bar was grey inside the music app and the buttons didn't work. I knew the speakers were fine because it would play the ringtone under the sound menu. Headphones worked just fine. I carefully cleaned out the charging port with rubbing alcohol while the phone was off. When I turned it back on, it works!
