IOS 11 Sound Problem

It is related to the update. When I have this problem, it is only with the normal phone calls. All calls over whats app work perfectly.

Called Apple on Saturday and they could not help with a fix. They sent me into my Apple Store. The techs could not fix the problem. Ended up getting a new phone.

It's stopped happening to me a while ago. Probably due to a couple of apps I uninstalled. Tinder among them.

Hope it helps.

I am glad these forums are here. Just upgraded to iphone 8 and my first call I kept asking the other party if they were on speaker phone. I had to jack the volume ALL the way up to barely hear them. So frustrating. None of these links people are sharing are working.

I’m having the same problem, when I make a call I can’t hear anything. No ringing and nobody speaking. It never fails, everytime there’s an update the older generation phones starting acting strange. This is the 3rd time this happens to me.

My phone could not be worse or less predictable. Must use headphones with mic for anyone to hear me. Starting immediately after upgrading my iPhone 6. Have updated to newest iOS, no improvement. Restarting does not improve. No carrier update available. This is really really bad. Speaker phone seems to work a little better but it is not predictable either. I restart twice a day at least just in case. Please advise.

Exact same problems here, iOS 11.0.1 on iPhone 7. Works for a while after reboot, then it starts happing again. Doesn’t matter if I use regular mic or speaker, both no sound when I’m calling or getting called…

You know, you might be on to something. I always have bluetooth on, but usually it’s not connected. Normally (in iOS 10) the icon in the top bar would be gray (when no devices are connected), however now the icon is continually black, as if there is a connection. However, there isn’t any.

I also use airplane mode at night, so this could be connected.

I've been having this issue as well. I'm on an iPhone 6s. I take great care of my phone and it's in great condition. It has NOTHING to do with people not being able to hear me though. I cannot hear any audio in the ear piece nor is anything going out via the mic. This happened immediately after my iOS 11 update. It's not my phone. The phone was completely fine. I restart, it works just like many others have stated. This is a big problem as I handle multiple client calls daily. It's messing things up for me. Causing major frustrations. Also, the freezing and random restarting is absolutely getting on my nerves. I've never had a problem with iOS updated as I have with this.

Anyone experiencing weird cellular service slowdowns drop outs? I had great service and now, it's really bad. My web browsing is faster via my wifi as opposed to my data connection. Which is just odd and again, only after I updated. I updated to 11.0.1... things are buggier now with apps than initially. This is not good.

My Speakerphone option stops working through out the day and only a reboot will solve the issue. I've update to 11.0.2 but the problem persists. Apple ran a diagnostic on my phone on Sunday and said they found no issues.

Having tais exact same issue with both iOS 11 and 11.0.1. I am having iPhone 6s. The alarm also has no sound when this is on. A reboot fixes it temporarily. Annoying. iOS is the new Android in this sense it seems.

Having the same issues in IPhone 6. Don’t hear the dial tone. No sound in ear speaker. I can get and do calls with my counterpart only with de loudspeaker activated.

Bluetooth turns on after booting even when I don’t turn it on before; the sound problem continues all time, even when I reboot. Updated to iOS 11.0.2 and nothing happened.

My iPhone 6s Plus was working perfectly fine before the update and now I have the exact same issue as everybody here no sound in the speaker and people cannot hear me during a phone call. I have to reboot the device and that fix the issue. But after a while the problem is coming back. And I don’t speak about all the other bugs IOS 11 is bringing on my phone (buggy and slow) I think I rebooted my phone more often since I have iOS 11 than since I bought my phone 20 month ago. This update is a huge joke for a company like Apple.

My father was an Apple fan and we have Apple devices since more than 30 years. It’s very sad to see that they don’t want to admit all these bugs are coming from their software update and I really regret that I did it.

Please Apple if you want to keep your customers you have to do something for them.

I have a very similar problem. After upgrading to ios11, call volume over my car’s Bluetooth connection is very, very low. Basically can’t hear anything people on the other end are saying. Tried adjusting all of my car’s speaker settings but that did nothing. I can only assume it’s a problem with the upgrade’s software. Please fix!

I lost all Siri and voice connections iPhone 6s after upgrading IOS 11. Lost my voice recordings and some Apps. But, Siri Works like a charm. I reset the entire iPhone completely and I still have a few glitches. But, I am wiling tol wait for the bug-fix.
