Iphone Xs max earpiece speaker not working

Ok, so just got an XS yesterday and today the top speaker isn't playing any music though it. IS there another fix besides restarting it? Is there something else we can do to get it back on without having to turn off?

This is on a brand new XS 512 that was just delivered to me yesterday.

ALSO, I came from a 6s and the call quality and tone of the ear piece speaker sounds better this this new phone. It's like the treble is turned down for all call using the earpiece, not on speakerphone. Anyone else notice this?

My 3rd phone still works after a soft reset and update to the latest iOS. I don’t know if I got lucky. I made a couple YouTube videos and a lot of people are commenting that they are having the same issue. Even folks with the XR are complaining about this issue.

I have got my XS Max in Singapore after 3 weeks of operations top ear specker stop working and i can’t hear any one who called to me so no music and no any voice during phone conversation, I just use Speacker during conversation this is expensive sh....t.

Restarting the device worked for me.... seems to be an iOS issue to me.

Tasks I usually do.

Connect to Bluetooth headsets, receive call and hear it through Bluetooth or MacBook or sometimes switch to phone speaker.

May be while switching all this, the setting is getting disturbed.

Unless you drop your phone severely, it will be hard for hardware to internally damage.

You have a very unique situation then, perhaps a hardware issue with your particular device.

I definitely have not seen the issue you report, and from a lack of reports here it's certainly not a common issue.

Someone on another thread mentioned that it’s just hanging onto Bluetooth and all you need to do to resolve the issue is turn Bluetooth on and off. Can’t wait to try that next time this happens.

I’ve also had this issue with the regular XS. I found a temp fix by resetting all phone settings (although the issue returns after a few days). It is pretty inconvenient though.

I did.
