1. Check Notifications

Turn Allow Notifications and Sounds on. Go to Settings > Notifications and then choose it. On the next page, be sure the "Allow Notifications" & "Sounds" switch are in green color.

2. Change volume

Change the volume with the volume buttons or the slider in Control Center in any app you like.

3. Turn off Mute Switch

When your iPhone sound not working, it is most probably that you turn the Mute switch on but forget to turn it off. So, firstly, you need to check whether your iPhone is in mute mode or not. If it shows in red line, it means that you need turn it off.

4. Turn off Bluetooth

Some users may have the habit of using wireless earphones like Beats Solo to listen to music. If you forget to disable Bluetooth, the sound will be transmitted to your earphones or other connected devices so that you can't hear any sound. Thus, if your Bluetooth is on, go to Settings and click on Bluetooth, then close it.

5. Disable Do Not Disturb

When Do Not Disturb is on, you'll see a little moon sign on the upper right of your iPhone screen, and you will not hear any sound on your iPhone. So, you need to ensure that it's off.

6. Reset iPhone

Just go to Settings> General> Reset> Reset All Settings. If the problem still exists, you can click on Erase All Content and Settings. But just like the name reads, Erase All Content and Settings will wipe out all your current data on iPhone. So, backup your iPhone with iTunes or iCloud in advance is necessary.

7. Restart iPhone

For iPhone 13/12/11/XS/X/8/8 Plus, you need press and quickly release the Volume Up button, then do the same for the Volume Down button. Follow up by pressing the Side button, and hold until the display suddenly shuts off — about 10 seconds. Keep holding the Side button and release when the device turns back onto its Apple boot screen. For earlier iPhones, press and hold the power button and Home button at the same time until Apple logo appears on the iPhone screen.
