IPhone won't recognize speakers?

I have speakers for my iPhone that have connected well for the past year. But all of a sudden, my phone gets rid of the volume control when I dock it. It's not an ihome, and I have to control the volume with the phone. But when I plug it in, no sound comes out.

The speakers themselves might be broken, or the wiring
I know I listen to my music loud when I have my speakers on and after so many uses like that speakers can get blown, try using another iPhone to test if its the ihome type system and not your iPhone

  • Why won't my new computer recognize that my iPhone is plugged in? I recently got a new computer, but all of my information for my iPhone is on my old computer. When I plug up my iPhone to my computer, it doesn't register that it is plugged in. Nothing is wrong with my charger and nothing is wrong with my computer. I don't know what to do to get my information from my iPhone onto my new computer and to my iTunes.
  • Why won't my computer recognize the music on my iPhone? I can play the music on my iPhone, and I want to update my phone but not lose my music.

ITunes won't even recognize the music i have purchased from the iTunes store. I want to restore my iphone and thats why i need to get my music onto my computer. It is an iphone 4s running on 5.0.1.
  • My iPhone won't recognize my home Wi-Fi? For some reason my phone doesn't connect to my home Wi-Fi anymore. When I go to settings it doesn't list any connections available for me to connect to. Is there any easy way to fix this problem? I really don't want to and don't know how to mess with my Wi-Fi router or whatever it's called.
