I had a problem with extremely low volume on my Iphone 6 - SOLVED!.

Other functions like, speaker, bluetooth were OK.

The solution was a big surprise to myself - since I was sure it was SW or a setting somewhere.

I carefully cleaned the little slot in the glas in the frontside of the phone where the sound comes out in normal use. I used a little piece of cotton with a little water/soap for dishwashing - do not soak it in water - did this app 5 times. I then used alcohol - did this app 5 times.

I almost cannot believe the change it did ;o) I had to adjust the volume down again.

So in my case it wasn't SW or settings - but simply dirt (not visible to me) that had to be mechanically remowed.

Exactly the same here. Can hardly use the earpiece on 12.1. As my iP7 PLUS isn’t warranty covered I’ve checked the earpiece over myself.

The speaker mesh is 100% clear (can fully see through it with the earpiece speaker removed) and the actual earpiece AND flex cable have been replaced with brand new genuine parts.....STILL no change!

I’ve even tested the earpiece speaker (settings/general/accessibility) and changed the audio to full RIGHT channel. This diverts all played audio to the earpiece speaker and music comes out ALOT louder than it does during a call, so it certainly isn’t a hardware issue with the earpiece itself.

This is not a one off case several iPhone 7 users have complained about low earpiece volume.Its a software or hardware issue which Apple must rectify.

Tried all that it did not work.This is a glitch in the iOS 11 which is affecting the call volume

try to put some rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab and play music or call from it then clean the earpiece ... some solid or wax could stuck in
