My iPhone 4S won't make sounds?

It somehow got wet I guess because there's a little part in the corner of the screen that looks odd. It says there's headphones plugged into it, which there isn't. The only time it makes noises is when you go to settings, sound, and adjust the sound there, where it plays the ringtone. And it also makes noise when I call someone and its on speaker, and listen to voicemails on speaker, etc. Music and such doesn't work unless I have headphones in… I've turned it off and on about 50 times. I've also turned it off by holding the home button and the power button down. Nothing. Should I just take it to the verizon store and see what's wrong with it or is there something I can do?

I had this same problem for many months. It finally went away. First try to clean your audio port, if that doesn't work plug your headphones in and out a few times.see if that works.

  • Why won't my iPhone make certain sounds anymore? For some reason my iPhone is not making sounds for certain apps such as camera, or for standby mode. I checked the settings, and both "lock sounds" and "keyboard clicks" are on, yet I don't hear either of these. I know the speaker works, because it plays music and I can use speaker phone. Anyone have any clue what the problem could be? I also tried resetting the iPhone, didn't work.
  • Why won't my iphone 4 make sounds? My volume is up, not turned off. But my phone won't make noise when I get a text or a phone call so I'm always missing calls which is not positive. Also my apps don't make any sounds either but if I play music on youtube or on spotify it works. Is something in my settings doing this? How can I fix it? > ^ < ~Thanks!
  • Why does the sounds on my new iPhone 4s not sound off? I have this nice new iPhone and the ringing, text, email sounds don't "sound off". I have checked and rechecked the settings but feel I'm missing something here on this function. Any experts on iPhones here that can give me a solution?
  • Sound quality of the new iPhone 6s sounds horrible compared to iPhone 5s? I recently updated my iPhone 5s to the iPhone 6s and I noticed a significant sound quality difference. The new phone sounds much less clear and somewhat muffled, compared to the old phone. There's nothing blocking the speaker on either phone (not even a screen protector). I played the same song on both phones and the 6s sounds so bad. Has anyone else noticed this?
