Full Video Guide to Fix Any iPhone Ear speaker on iPhone not working

Solution 1 – Check Silent Switch cause it stops iPhone Speaker’s loud

Check the Silent switch is turned on (the iPhone ring is on). Often in a hurry, we make silly mistakes, like Removing the cover from iPhone. Make a Silent switch off.

Solution 2 – Increase Volume to Max

Increasing the volume to maximum is common when your Phone is stuck in speaker error. And also, check the silent switch above the volume (+) button; it is located on your iPhone’s left-upper side edge.

1. Go to “Settings”
2. Click “Sounds & Haptics.”
3. Now put your finger on the white ball shape and drag it right side to the maximum level. It appears under the “Ringtone and Alert Volume” section.
4. Furthermore, Please turn the Change With Buttons toggle ON -(Green means Active).

Using this setting-“The Volume of the ringer and alerts can be adjusted using the volume buttons.”

Also, Adjust Audio Balance for Left and Right Speaker on iPhone while in Landscape mode,

1. Open Settings
2. Click Accessibility
3. Audio/Visual
4. Scroll to the Balance section “Left and Right” and Keep on center.

That’s it.

Solution 3: Check that your iPhone is not in Headphone Mode

It may be another reason the iPhone speaker stopped working after the iOS 17 update. If the headphone/lightning cable is dirty or has other debris, then iPhone’s port is stuck, and the iPhone thinks that the earphones are plugged in, and the music won’t play through the speaker. Follow the steps to get rid of it.

1. Press the volume up key, and if the iPhone is in Headphone mode then “Headphone” will be displayed on a pop-up.
2. Check the port of the iPhone with a flashlight, and if you see anything, then clean it with a brush carefully.

Solution 4: Make sure that iPhone isn’t connected with the different speaker like HomePod or AirPods

For that, you need to turn off Bluetooth and AirPlay Mirroring. Often we have a habit of enabling features whether they are in use or not. Just like that Bluetooth and AirPlay Mirroring are used to play music or for video streaming.

1. Swipe the bottom of the iPhone’s screen.
2. Turn off both, the Bluetooth and the AirPlay Mirroring.

Solution 5: Force Restart your iPhone to fix Mic/Speaker not working

Rebooting the device will fix all the issues related such as iPhone speaker not working on games, iPhone speaker not playing Music, iPhone speaker not working while calling, and much more. There are different methods to restart the iPhone depending on which iPhone you have.

For iPhone 13/ iPhone 12/iPhone 11/ XS Max/XS/XR/X/iPhone 8/iPhone 8 Plus:

1. Press and Quickly Release Volume up key,
2. Press and Quickly Release Volume Down button.
3. Now press and hold the Side button until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
