IPhone 4 noises stopped working?

Please READ All DETAILS BEFORE ANSWERING.
So basically my phone is acting like there's headphones plugged into my phone. It won't play music. The little volume slider bar disappeard, apps won't make any noise, etc. I know it's nothing wrong with the speakers only because when I receive a call my ringtone still works fine. But on a side note, when I actually do plug in headphones all the noises and music comes backs. Thru the headphones of course. Also when I go to turn up the volume on the side of the phone using the buttons, the little ringer screen pops up but doesn't let the volume go up or down.

I have tried to hard reset the phone. I have gone into all the settings and made sure nothing was on mute. I have restarted the phone several time. Any suggestions? Is my headphone jack, jacked up?

If anyone has any good suggestion Please help me out!

I suggest you to go to an Apple store (highly suggest this) or an authorized Apple reseller and ask a specialist to find out the source of your problem.

  • Why does my iPhone not make any noises? My iPhone does not play sounds through the speaker when I get the call. I also can't hear people when speaking to them in a call and it does not play music through the headset. How can I fix this?
  • When I get a notification for Snapchat or Instagram the noises won't go off? They pop up but they never make a sound, I've looked on notifications in settings and in sounds, my phone isn't on silent (btw it is iPhone 4S) if that helps, please help it is bothering me, I tend to miss loads of notifications, it is also on full ringer, please help!
  • My Iphone 6s makes crackling noises when I plug in earbuds/earphones? Can someone please explain to me how to fix the crackling noises my Iphone makes when I plug in earbuds. It does not make weird noises when I play it without headphones; but only when I plug something in to privately listen to music and etc. I don't think the earbuds/headphones are the problem because I recently used new ones, but it still makes crackling noises
  • My Iphone 4S doesn't make notification noises? All my settings are turned on for my phone to make noise whe I receive notifications. However, when I do receive any notification from any app it appears on my lock screen but doesn't light up my screen or make a noise, what could possibly be wrong?
