Q: No Sound on iPhone 4S after iOS 8 Upgrade

After updating to iOS 8 on my iPhone 4S, at first there kinda was sound for a brief period of time of about a day or two. However, that sound was noticeably distorted and inconsistent as it would go in an out. Now the phone is completely not outputting any sound at all for any function or app. I've already tried turning the phone off and on, no change. I tried rebooting the phone by holding the home key and power button together, no change.

 

Is there any fix I can implement now? Or am I stuck waiting until Apple releases a patch update to iOS 8?

iPhone 4S, iOS 8

    I recently discovered something that may be of interest.

     

    After testing sound in a variety of different apps and locations on the iPhone, for some reason, the Voice Memos app is able to play back your voice recording just fine. It even plays the button click sounds within that particular app just fine. But anywhere else, no sound at all.

    I am having the same problem, how ever I found something that sometimes work. If you want to watch a video on YouTube. Open the video, click pauze, input some headphones, output the headphones and afterwards you sometimes have sound.

     

    Works for me 1 in the 5 times.

    For me the same problem! No sound at all, only sound on a bluetooth headset works.

    No change by installing ios 8.0.2

    Any help from Apple would be nice!

    Same here. Not sure if it was the 8.0 update or the 8.0.2 a few days later. I have no sound with some apps like FaceBook and IHeart Radio. It seems to be a bit intermittent. Mostly doesn't work. Apple, we need a solution. We all need to report the problem. I'm not sure how closely they monitor these discussion groups.

    I am having the same problem.

    Music will play through speakers from the Apple 'Music' app. No sound for Youtube, Facebook, Map directions etc.

    Have also tried on/off and reset.

    I knew I should have waited a few more weeks before installing the software update. Typical Apple 'release before it's really ready' situation here.

    I had a similar problem on my 4s after ios8.x update that I was able to fix. My issue was that I could not hear sound from the receiver(ear speaker) [the way most people make calls]. I could put it on speaker phone and could hear the caller but then that made the microphone inoperable, the caller couldnt hear me. I also could not hear my voice mail messages. Everything worked file over bluetooth.

    I decided to test the various audio outputs (bottom speakers, ear speaker, headphones) by opening the voice memos app and creating a new memo. I then pressed play and it played over the bottom speakers. I noticed the speaker icon in the upper right hand corner of the app and so I pressed that turning it from blue to white and then replayed the memo and voila I had sound coming from the ear speaker. I then tried making a phone call and listening to my voicemails and everything worked like it used to. Seems that toggling that icon fixed everything. If your voice memo speaker icon is blue try to toggle it to white. HTH, Cheers!

    Dude we do have a same problem.

     

    Bluetooth device was the only way to hear a sound.

     

    But in my case, sound randomly gets back and will be out again.

     

    Tried updating to ios 8.1 but same result.

     

    Apply please have a solution for this.

     

    iPhone 4s, No external sounds.
