Volume on my iPhone 4S doesn't work only when I put the earphones on?

Today I tried listening to music on my iPhone 4S, only to find that my volume adjuster had disappeared. And just to clarify, when I say that it disappeared, I mean that when I press the volume buttons on my phone, I see the speaker icon but the gauge bar is gone. When I put my earphones on it works perfectly I tried resetting it but nothing seems to work. I was wondering if I can get a replacement for my phone I have sprint

It's a malfunction.take it to apple repair.

volume should always work regardless of earphone use.

  • Why doesn't my volume on my iPhone work? I tried to watch videos and listen to music but it's silent and I can't hear anything. Also I just found out the ring tone sound works. Why is that and how could I get my volume back?
  • Why doesn't my iPhone 4S volume bar don't work? Okay so I found out like three days ago that my volume doesn't work like once I try pressing on the + or - on the volume it just says ringer and it doesn't go high or low, it also doesn't work for like an app example vine or fun run, or music. I tried going to settings, general, reset, and reset all settings and its still not working.
  • Where do I take my iPhone 5 if the volume down button doesn't work? I got the phone like 5 months ago and the button has been broken for about 2 months but now that it's summer and I have more time for music/phone in general it's starting to make me very angry. So would I take it to the Apple store or the Verizon store where I bought the phone?
  • Volume buttons on the side of my iPhone doesn't work My volume keys on the side aren't working! Like I can't turn the volume / ringer up or down. Please help! I can't even listen to music without headphones!
