Sound won't work on iPhone? How do I fix it?

I can't turn the sound up or down. I tried assistive touch but that doesn't work. I also tried turning my phone on and off and that didn't work either. It started to work for about and hour and now it's back to how it was. My alarm works fine though and sounds for text messages and phone calls so it's not the speaker. When I try to listen to music the sound bar is gone and when I try to listen to vine it just won't work? What can it be and how can I fix it?

Put your phone in DFU mode (hold power button for 3 seconds, release and quickly press home button for 10 seconds, then without releasing the home button, press the power button, and hold both for 15 seconds, or until the apple logo appears).It worked when my friend's audio stopped working. If that still doesn't work, try backing up your data to a computer then restore, but I recommend that as a last resort (other than going to the Apple store and getting it fixed for money)

If DFU won't work, then rebooting your phone won't either. If you have jailbreak, you can try restarting your springboard.

  • Why won't the sound on my iPhone 4S work? I have had my iPhone for 3 months and it has been working fine. I used to share an iTunes account with my sister, and the sound would work on anything on my phone. Now, I made my own iTunes account and the sound for YouTube and iTunes will not work. The volume switch on the side is not set to orange. Any answers would be appreciated!

  • Sound on my iphone won't work? This morning i woke up and i tried to listen to a song and when i went to turn the volume up, the little circle thing was gone. Every now and then it will come back but itll only stay for a few minutes. I can't really use my phone if i can't hear when i get texts and calls and i can't listen to music or have my phone on speaker and its just a big inconvenience and a lil annoying. Why is it doing this and how can i change it back to normal?
