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

I had the same issue on an iPhone 4 this morning. Appears in my case to have been caused when I docked my phone in an iHome clock radio that I have had and used for years. Got that lovely "this device not supported by this iPhone" message, which of courses was bs since I have used it for years. So rebooted my phone and sound came back till I docked again. Rebooted again and docked before I started the music and is working now. Looks like a reboot at least will provide a temp fix. My wife had the keyboard problem that others are experiencing. Looks like Apple needs to send a patch pretty quickly.

So I have had the same problem as everyone else. I have done multiple restores plus all the suggestions on here and then some and I have had no luck. I have even downgraded back to IOS 6 in dfu (restore) mode thinking this would definitely fix it unfortunately I still have no sound. It looks like a lost cause. IOS7 has killed my phone

I have an iphone 4s and am having the same problem. I installed ios 7 and now have no sound for anything. I have the volumn slider to be able to turn it up and down but nothing plays.


I have tried the following steps but with no luck: restart, reset device, uninstall sound cloud, reinstall ios 7.


I am able to use sound through a bluetooth headset.


I was also able to get sound to work temporaraly by restarting my iphone with headphones plugged in when it starts up. As long as they are left in the sound will work but once unplugged sound will turn off again and plugging them back in won't work without another restart.


this is definitley an os issue that apple needs to send a fix out for.

As I said, even I reinstalled the OS without restore data, the phone has no sound on text and music(and youtube on website). However sometime work.


This is compatibility issues with some hardware. I have 2 iphone 4s. one works fine, one has this problem.


Maybe we could tell apple our hardware ID or sth, allow them to check?


BTW, when I restore to IOS 6, there is no problem at all.

I also have a iphone 4s with no audio for Music or Apps with sound like Youtube! But i know my speakers

work because my alarm has audio....when i call someone i can hear them and when my alarm goes off

i hear it! Verizon told me it is possibly a SOFTWARE issue and this is when i was on update 6.1.3

since my speakers were working just not with apps that had audio or music! So i recommend the following

1. delete account from itunes and Start over! 2. settings>general>RESET all SETTINGS! (CAUTION) or

3. take to an apple store 4. get a new phone! But i truely believe it is a Corrupt Back up on your desktop

ITUNES and when you restore your just putting the same bad stuff back on your phone! So what to do???
