#1. Clean the speaker, headset plug, and jack

Some of you may only find no sound on iPhone only when you are using a headset. In this case, you can clean the headset plug and jack. And you can change another headset to have a try.

#4. Check the Ring/Silent switch

The Ring/Silent switch is set on the left side of iPhone. And you can switch it to change the ring or silent mode of your iPhone. When your iPhone is in silent mode, it shows orange. The silent mode will stop any ringtones and alerts. But it does not influence other sounds. Sometimes, this feature may get some bugs and result in no sound on iPhone. You can adjust it by changing from the Ring/Silent mode and see whether it works.

#5. Turn off the Bluetooth

Check whether you have turned on the Bluetooth on iPhone. When you turn it on, the sound which should be output from speaker on your iPhone may be transferred to another device which is connected with yours at that time. And it makes your iPhone no sound as a result. How to disable this feature? Just head over to Settings, and then Bluetooth. Toggle the Bluetooth switch to turn it off.

Maybe you turn it on unintentionally and then you find your iPhone sound not working. If it is on, a crescent moon icon will appear in the status bar.
