Why can't I hear anything on my phone without headphones?

Clean the headphone jack

It's possible that your phone can't get out of headphone mode because it has a lot of debris inside the audio jack. Dust, dirt, and even lint can build up inside. If you keep your phone inside your pocket regularly, lint can collect inside the jack.

Why is my phone not using sound?

Go to Settings > Sounds (or Settings > Sounds & Haptics), and drag the Ringer and Alerts slider back and forth a few times. If you don't hear any sound, or if your speaker button on the Ringer and Alerts slider is dimmed, your speaker might need service.

Why is there no sound on my speakers?

Check sound settings

Check to make sure your audio devices aren't muted and haven't been disabled. Select and hold (or right-click) the Speakers icon on the taskbar, and then select Open Volume mixer. Note: If you don't see Speakers displayed, it may be in the overflow area. Select Show hidden icons to check there.

Why have I got no sound on my iPhone?

Go to Settings > Sounds (or Settings > Sounds & Haptics), and drag the Ringer and Alerts slider back and forth a few times. If you can't hear any sound, or if your speaker button on the Ringer and Alerts slider is dimmed, your speaker may need to be serviced.

Why is my phone still on headphone mode?

Way 2: Clean the headphone jack

Many times, dust or dirt in the headphone jack is the culprit that causes the mobile phone to get stuck in headphone mode. The headphone jack has a tiny switch for detecting headphones.

Why can't I hear anything while wearing headphones?

Check if your audio jack is bent. Check if your cable is damaged. Even if you don't see any physical damage, the headphones may be damaged. If you have another device to connect to the headphones, try testing them with that device.

Why can't I hear anyone on the phone on my iPhone?

Go to Settings > Sounds (or Settings > Sounds & Haptics), and drag the Ringer and Alerts slider back and forth a few times. If you can't hear any sound, or if your speaker button on the Ringer and Alerts slider is dimmed, your speaker may need to be serviced.

Do headphones damage hearing?

Headphones that go over your ears can also damage your hearing if you use them too long or play music too loudly. They're just not as much of a risk as earbuds are: Having the source of the sound in your ear canal can increase a sound's volume by 6 to 9 decibels — enough to cause some serious problems.

Do headphones block out sound?

Most headphones, especially over-ear headphones and in-ear monitors, have this feature. They are designed to enclose your ears with padding (or ear tips) and create an air-tight seal, which blocks out and muffles ambient sound.

How do I test my iPhone ear speakers?

To check the speakers, go to Settings > Sounds and drag the Ringer And Alerts slider to turn the volume up. You should hear the ring tone clearly. To check the microphone, use the iPhone or iPad's standard Voice Memos app. Open the Voice Memos app or ask Siri to open it and speak into the microphone.
