Why did the sound suddenly stop working on my iPhone?

About a week ago while I was playing music on my phone, the sound just suddenly stopped working. I get no sound when I receive calls, play games, get notifications, etc. When I plug the headphones in, I get sound from them. It's almost as if they are stuck in headphone mode. I haven't gotten my phone wet or dropped it, nothing has been done to damage it. Yet it is without sound. Any ideas on what happen or what I can do to fix it?

Did you try turning you iPhone off and on?

  • Why did the sound on my iPhone 4 stopped working? Okay so I was in the middle of watching a YouTube video on my phone. And then all the sudden at 1:30 AM my sound shut off. I was so pissed! So I looked at my side switch on my phone, it was off and I looked at the disturb button in settings it was off! An when I get a message no ring! There's no sound AT ALL. I tried turning it on and off it didn't work and I also tried double clicking the home button and minusing all of my apps didn't work!
  • Why did the quality of pictures on my iPhone 5 suddenly get really bad? I have had this iPhone 5 since September and it works fine but like an hour ago the quality on pictures has gotten horrible. Worse than a flip phone. The pictures I take are fine but it's pictures on Instagram or the internet that look horrible. I tried to turn the phone on and off but it didn't work.
