# Phone Speaker Not Working

## Quick Answer

## Quick Checks

Try these fast checks first — they solve most cases.

1.  Check volume and mute
    
    Ensure the phone is not on silent mode and volume is up.
    
2.  Check Bluetooth
    
    Audio may be routing to a Bluetooth device. Disconnect it.
    
3.  Clean the speaker grille
    
    Use a soft brush to clean dust and debris.
    
4.  Restart the phone
    
    A glitch may be blocking audio output.
    
5.  Test with different apps
    
    Try playing audio from different apps.
