Why iphone won't play media out loud?

I got it used off of a friend but for some reason music, youtube, etc only works with headphones. It wot play out loud or een let me turn up the volume through the side buttons, but it will when headphones are in so i know the buttons arent broken. Any suggestions? Also, the speakers work on calls or for the ringtone.

You probably need to restore it to factory settings. I had an Issue with an Ipod Touch 5g that quit working altogether so far as the Microphone and speaker. I restored it to factory settings and that fixed it. If you can hear the voice on a call i'm sure it works. You may want to go to an apple store and have them look at it if that doesn't work. They may replace it free of charge if they are nice or fix it for you but count on paying something most likely if you choose to get it fixed or replaced there but it will be a lot less than getting a new unit.

It could be that it has debris in the headphone jack making it feel that they are still in. Try cleaning it out & see if it helps.

  • Why won't my itunes sync with my media player? So I have a iphone 4 and when I 1st downloaded Itunes all my songs from my Media player synced with it and it let me put all my music on my phone but I recently added some new songs (63) to my Media player but they did not show up in my Itunes so now I have no idea how to put them on my phone. Also my Media player won't sync with my phone too.

  • Why does my iPhone 5s play music out loud, even on silent? When the switch on the side of my phone is switched to silent (red bar showing), my phone will still play music, videos, or sounds from apps out loud unless I turn the volume all the way down using the volume buttons. I thought the silent switch was supposed to prevent any sounds.
