When i manually use the buttons to turn it up is says ringer like always but the sound part doesn't show up? And on my ipod the place to turn it up is just black.why? And how do i fix it?

Go into settings and select sound. Your problem is somewhere in there. Also, check the button on the side of the iphone.

  • Why won't my iPhone earbuds work on my iPhone but work fine on a computer? So I have the worst luck with earbuds and it happens to be reoccurring. I have a normal iPhone 5 and I enjoy music but when I listen to my songs only one earbud will work while the other one is dead. I can go on my computer and they will both work so I was wondering why they both won't work on my phone?
  • 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!
  • Why is no sound coming out my iPhone. The only sound that comes out is the ringer or when I have headphones hooked up? I have a iPhone 6s. And I recently noticed that no sound is coming out my iPhone. The only sound that works is my ringer and when I have headphones hooked up. My phone is updated to the IOS 12. I tried cleaning out my headphone jack and speakers and it's still doing it.
