iPhone Speaker Sounds Muffled? An Apple Tech's Fix!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 чер 2019
- Two Apple experts explain what to do when your #iPhone #speaker sounds #muffled. First, we have to figure out whether the speaker is muffled all the time, or just sometimes. One way to check if the speaker is muffled all the time is to play a ringtone.
To begin fixing this problem, take your iPhone out of its case and clean out every speaker and microphone. Then, restart your iPhone.
If that doesn’t work, go to the Accessibility Settings and make sure Mono Audio is off, Phone Noise Cancellation is off, and the Left-Right balance isn’t off-center.
Does the speaker only sound muffled when you’re listening to music? In that case, check the Music EQ settings in the Settings app. Make sure EQ is off.
If all else fails, Reset All Settings on your iPhone. Otherwise, you’ll probably have to get your iPhone speaker repaired.

You guys are the best, and you help keep it simple for older, non-techies like me. I just want to let you know something. I opened up developer settings on my excellent Samsung S10, and reduced animation times.The phone was noticeably snappier! However, it is not recommended by Samsung that you leave developer mode on all of the time, and when you close them, the animations setting returns to the original, slower setting.
Your videos on battery saving techniques have increased my daily screen time by an hour and a half per day! Thank You!
Hi, I have an SE 2020 and the top speaker often becomes distorted. I have found the best way is to stick a piece of electrical tape over the speaker, and then peal it off. This tends to remove the crud that has gotten in there. I find that thishas consistently sorted my problem. This happened to previous phones, I wish I was aware of this sooner, as it would have saved me many trips to the Apple Store. Toothbrushes will work as well of course.
I have this problema with my phone for awhile now and i was kind of wondering if it was because i dropped my phone, but when i did the part where you suggest to clean out the speakers with a toothbrush! Man!!! That FIXED the issue!!! THANKYOU VERY MUCH guys!! ❤️
My guy dropped his eyebrows
LOL

Actually that was very rude.
You guys are awesome - thanks for the great content!
After a whole year of muffled speaker you just helped me fix my speaker with a simple use of a toothbrush. Now I don’t know whose toothbrush is it, but it was the nearest one to me while I’m taking my deuce.
You guys!!! Save my life. I was desperate and i could fix it!!! Thank you so much!
WOW!!! You two are a Godsend....especially for the disabled and isolated!!!!! Ya'll need a HUGE DONATE BUTTON!
Yes the brush trick works to remove 6 years of XR gunk . Used a toothpick but be careful not to damage the mesh , if you can’t see the mesh with magnifying glass then you need to clean those speakers , I used brush too after wooden toothpick gently.. The sounds so clear as during Covid I used to wipe my phone with disinfectant wipes and the pocket gunk probably stuck and the sound was weaker and weaker . It sounds like new . Thanks guys , I’ve learnt something new .
my phone is so fricken quiet I’m gonna die LMAO

Thank you for All your Video’s on aspect to the iPhones. My incoming speaker sounded like the caller was in a very looooong tunnel, I switched something on and it cleared the speaker sound, I bought a refurbished iPhone 6 and so far no problems
the irony is that i can’t hear the video :,)
My camera app has wonderful volume but when I use snapchat or receive calls, the other person can’t hear me and my snapchat and Instagram recordings are always muffled
muhammad40000 same any update?
Tricia DC I tried cleaning it made a slight difference but still poor
muhammad40000 mine also has the same case of you :(
It's your microphone not your speaker
muhammad40000 yesss mine too
The toothbrush work thank you! clear like new!
You guys, I just ordered a new iPhone 13 because my phone speakers have been busted and I genuinely could barely hear anything! Like it was severely affecting work calls. I followed all of the steps, and then took an alcohol swab after using a VERY soft toothbrush, restarted my phone twice, and my phone speakers are just like when I bought it! I could cry! Thank you!
Man I dropped my phone in my pasta and got pasta sauce in it 😂😂😂
Same lol, did you fix it?
Jadie _cakes i just dropped mine in a bowl of milk and i got milk in the speakers
I dropped mine in the gravy bowl during thanksgiving ☠️
I dropped mine in a ketchup😢
Jadie _cakes I dropped mine in snow
Tht toothbrush method really worked thanks 🙏🏾
Thank you sooo much
I was really worried when my speaker wasn’t working
Thank you so much for fixing my problem which I was dealing with from few months!
I’m so happy! Thank you Thank you!
Thank you soo much for this video! I just followed every step, and I noticed the toothbrush brought back some of the volume. My family and I were playing around and smashing eggs on eachother and some of the egg got into my phone. Lol I think some of it dried in my speaker. 😩 Trying to figure out how I can clean that.
Very helpful. Fixed my sound issues👍
I just got back from the Apple store and they were zero help! Came home and tried the toothbrush! 💥 💥💥 Problem resolved! Thank you so much!!
Thank you very much!It actually works.Thanks again I’ve been having this problem for months.
So if I have ugly sound from ear speaker and bottom speaker so I have to change both or just the one bottom and if I wanna change ear speaker is effect the Face ID thank u
Hubby had this problem with his new iPhone X and it turned out to be the case he was using. He had purchased it online. So he got a different style & it worked! Thank you guys for all your help.
mine is kinda different. so on snap i like to like play songs and post on my snapchat story. ( i play the song on my phone and record at the same time.) it sounds muffled now. but it’s just that.
Sameeee
Ty guys. I was able to fix a few things you suggested and hopefully it works. Every time I talk to my mom she says I sound like I’m under water. It comes and goes. So I did these things. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻
Followed all your suggestions, my iPhone 7+ had no sound except on speaker. The left speaker was silent and right speaker worked on speaker. Nothing worked until a full re-set. But that worked! Many Thanks!
Omg thank you soooooo much I thought I was gonna have to take it to get fixed 😭😭😭
Me toooo
I want to recommend something for you who have tried everything, but still got low volume during calls. I’ve had it and tried everything and was ready to have it repaired. But stubborn as I am I gave it another shot and it solved the problem! So here’s the solution: the speaker crease on top was filled with dirt. I though I removed it all but now that I looked really close, I could see that the tiny tiny mesh actually was clogged up with dirt. So it was not only a “cake” on top, but actually in between the fine mesh. What I did is I took a wooden toothpick and just gently scraped it against the mesh surface, back and forth many times. Each time dirt came loose. I did that many times til no more dirt releases. When you look really up close after, you should be able to see the holes in the fine mesh. And voila; my call speaker was as new again! Spread the word!
If you have to “scrape” stuff off your phone, use an otter box and don’t touch it with dirty hands.
@@MrsMilien you don’t get it. An otter box is no protection against dirt in the speaker and microphone. It’s as open there as any old phone case. This is not because of dirty hands, this is usually layers and layers of different dirts, from your pockets, etc etc.
Awesome! I actually had this issue up until today as I used a toothbrush to clean the headphone speaker and it instantly worked! The calls went from sounding muffled to clear and crisp.
The L and R option worked for me! Thanks! :D
This 5 min video really helped me a lot
Thanks guys!
Wow what a difference!!!! Thank you guys, my sound has been low for like a year now and I couldn’t figure it out
What did you do to it ?
Couldn’t hear anything before on speaker. Toothbrush made it sound like brand new iphone. Thanks!
I need help with my front camera audio when I record stuff with it there's no sound but besides that I have no other problems
Any chance you could do an updated video of this? My screens look nothing like the ones you fellas were looking at so I'm not sure how to do what your suggesting on my iPhone 13.
The toothbrush one worked for me I’m so glad. I really needed it to film my UA-cam videos so you’ve saved me a lot! Thank you
That was like magic, use a dry clean toothbrush only. Started working immediately
Is there anyway that these settings will help the quality when using a life proof case. Calls are crazy muffled.
Same any updateV
Thank you so much! Super helpful.
You said that mono should be off. That statement is true for those that can hear out of both ears. My left ear is deaf so I only use one air pod. If I leave the mono off, I will be missing some of the audio as while in a stereo the device will send most of the audio to both ears but will also send some of the audio to only one ear and some different audio only to the other ear to make it seem as if the sounds or some of it comes from a different direction. So by turning mono on I get all the sounds to my working ear and do not miss anything
for the loud audio:-settings>music>EQ>late night
Thx for the video my iPhone has been muffled for about a year this helped me 🙃
Love you guys, you’re the best! Thanks for all your help. ❤️👍
Good trouble shoot video well done instructions clear and concise
Professional friendly and helpful thank you
It was the combination of both the clean toothbrushing and EQ settings that helped me. (Mine was set to bass booster). Thank you both!
Or if the sound is kind of Muffled and lowered go into clock set an alarm and put it on an alarm on full volume. This is what helped me.
Really helpfull thank you soo much ❤️
No lie you guys saved me some money i was gonna get my speakers replaced but i watched this and started picking the gunk out of my speakers and now they work perfectly 🙌🏾
Yay! This helped so much-and was super on point, got right into troubleshooting with no BS, addressed an exhaustive list (and quickly!). Many thanks.
Just a note, my speaker holes were BLOCKED. A toothbrush didn't do it, so I thought they were broken. But I checked with a magnifying glass. You SHOULD see a tiny grill, so I had to use a pin and magnifying glass to clean all the speaker and mic holes they said. Made it much better!
This is a great tip! Be careful using anything sharp or metallic to clean out your speakers. An unused toothbrush or an anti-static brush is great for cleaning out your iPhone!
You’re a life saver , the amount of gunk that just came out my speaker is ide
La
When you 1st say tío reset phone you ought to have suggested backing up all on phone to iCloud so you DON’T lose everything!!
Am I suppose to have a magnifying glass just laying around bruh
Such a helpful video! Thank youuu!!!!
my problem was the left and right audio. i thought that was only for earbuds. thanks!
is there a way to fix a completely silenced and not vibrating iphone? how can it be fixed?
Just switched out my loud speaker with a brand new one and it’s still muffled. Tried all your tips and it still sounds muffled and broken. Not sure what it could be at this point. I even cleaned out the speaker holes.
Prob hardware
This worked well I also used a wet wipe and cleaned the phone and everything. Then replayed the high pitch song I was listening to and everything is great now !!
This worked on me. i just had dirt on it so cleaning it was good and then the music tip was good it helped a lot.
I need help with my front camera audio when I record stuff with it there's no sound but besides that I have no other problems
Go to podcast and turn it off.
Geral setting.
Had same issue for about a month, finally withes guys help I just fixed it.
Perfect sound now
Sounds crazy but brushing speakers actually worked lol 😂 thanks boys
Omg thank you. This is very helpful. I did every single process. The only one that let my speaker’s sound back is by using toothbrush, but with isoprophyl alcohol. Thank you from the 🇵🇭
I really like you guys, I’ve learned a lot, thanks. But, I have a question for you. I downloaded an update on my 6S and now I can’t sink my email on my phone and my Mac. It won’t recognize one or the other even though they are both the same. Can you help me?
You guys are terrific! Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge.
My phone started squeaking and the sound isn’t working and for some reason I actually thought I would be able to hear this
Thanks, guys!! Cleaned up the speaker areas & restart my phone & it works now!! Thanks!!
Thanks a lot, it works for me 🤩I really appreciate you guys ✨🤲🏽
Yo I appreciate it when y’all told me to reset the phone it’s good as new
Did you have a static problem
I have a static problem and the volume sounds so low will reset help?
I dropped my phone in ice cream bye-
DUDE SAME
I can’t believe the toothbrush technique worked!!! 😯
When I was watching the video I really thought none of it would do the trick for my speakers but after running a few strokes using a friggin toothbrush, my phone’s speakers sound like I just took them out of the box!!!
Thank youuu!!! ❤️
It worked! The toothbrush brushing side to side didn’t help much but when I started to poke up and down into the speaker I guess it cleared some dirt out!
Thank you guys, it was the freakin RESTART! You guys are the best!
Thank you!!! Increased my ring volume :).
Thank you for this! The first trick worked 🤸🏽♀️🤸🏽♀️🤸🏽♀️
Thank u so much this has Ben bothering me for days
Thanks this helped me!!! 👍🏽

When I tip my iPhone the volume changes dramatically, how do I fix this. Thank you for your video, you two are awesome.
akidojlaw537 me too, no one else seems to be having this problem. For instance, when I listen to a UA-cam video on my bed laying down it does
Most likely it has to do with your speakers, they might have loosened or partially disconnected. You have to take it to a store and repair it
please guys can you help me with my iphone 5s when i make video on front camera and done vlogging and review it it was so low sound not like on rear camera just normal sound? i was fixed it into professional but it still low sound!
Thank you this actually worked now I’m going to follow you❗️👍👍
Awesome clear and concise problem solving advice!
Just a thank you. You’ve saved my eyesight. Ive transferred info to iPad, it’s changed my life (dramatic music). 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great Tips! Helped resolved my issues, thanks guys!
great commentators on iphone products with helpful advice .I follow you all the time.thank you so much for your comments.
THIS WORKED I RESETED MY SETTINGS THANKS I APPRECIATE IT
My friends hear a vibrating sound when I turn on the microphone when connected
Yeah so uh your mics is broken I think
Very helpful. Thank you!
i don't understand why my iphone when i record it, and watch it, it somehow low then high volume. it's like that idk how to explain, is there something wrong, its like the sensor change the volume when they sensed ?
I can’t here my own audio at all it doesn’t work! I can’t send voice messages and when I’m on a call people can’t here me
Cleaning with a toothbrush restored it probably 70-80%. I used a lot of hand sanitizer on my phone over the last 5 months and I think it clogged the top speaker a bit. Maybe with a little more cleaning or a solution to break down the residual left from the sanitizer it will be 100% again. Regardless it’s night and day difference. Thanks for the video.
Love your vids. Many thanks. Just got my XR. This is the painless way.

Hi, I just got my Xr but the video sound is intermittent, how can I solve this issue?
The second step actually worked for me, thanks
This really helped me. Thanks u guys are life savers. I was so scared and I thought my speaker was broken. All I did was listen to you guys and shut down my phone for 1 minute and I turned on mono speaker or whatever it’s called in the settings
Turning on the mono audio settings helped me as well, though in the video was told that it should be off. I have a new iphone 11, so it means that with the stereo sound is some problems with the iphones, eigther hardware or software problem.
With Covid-19 I dip my phone in rubbing alcohol after I finish my duty in the ED and I ended up here 😂 hello muffled phones’ owners!!
Same. I just covered my phone is hydrogen peroxide and now I’m here... 😁
Thanks for your help!
lmao
Did anything work to fix this? Done the same thing...
@@MrPvptibia I went to the store then he fix it good luck bro
This works like a charm..my iPhone 11 sounds exactly like how I initially bought it…thank you so much❤️❤️❤️❤️fyi I just used a clean makeup brush to clean the speaker 😅
Wow I think it worked. The problem for me was that sunscreen got in my iPhone when I went to the beach. And I could hear a strange buzz in the back
Ana Calero What did you do to fix it??
I used the toothbrush method but I still have a slight issue when the volume is really loud
