Why are my speakers not working? How to fix them?
Although such instances are rare, speakers are known to stop working. They can mute completely, or the sound can be crackling, certain apps not to play sounds, and more. The end result is the same, you won't be able to listen to music or watch movies.
The reasons for no sound are far and wide, with the most common ones being listed below:
The solutions listed below will show you how to fix the speakers and sound problems. Check them out.
If you can't hear any sound during a call, but it works well with Skype, Viber, or another calling app, it could be due to some call blocker application you've installed before.
Disable or uninstall all calling apps that you have, and then check if it helps.
If you can't hear a sound on your Android device, it's possible that the volume level is set to 0. If this is the case, all you need to do is to press the Volume Up button and there adjust all the sound levels.
You can press the volume up button anytime, even if apps are opened.
Maybe the reason why the speaker doesn't work on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is because the volume level is 0. Perhaps, you have accidentally held the volume down button without noticing. If this is the case, all you need to do is to turn up the volume using the Volume up button.
Note: If your device won't ring, then it is possible that you have accidentally moved the silent mode switch (located above the volume up button). In this case, you will just need to flick the switch.
Having a strong and stable Internet connection is imperative for a smooth call. If your Internet connection is not strong the sound quality will be way lower, or you will hear no sound at all. The solution is to switch to another and more importantly stable Internet connection. If you are connected to a Wi-Fi network, switch to another Wi-Fi network or to mobile data.
