Question

While listening to music using Bluetooth or CarPlay no sound output on iPhone

While listening to a book, podcast or music in my car, using Bluetooth or Apple car play, the sound output on phone dies. The bar shows the song or podcast is still playing, yet no sound. I have tried sliding ringer volume up and down - no fix. I have updated software to ios18.1.1 - no fix. I have reinstalled iOS 18.1.1 no fix. Gone to an Apple Store they said wait till it happens again. It has happened almost everyday for 10 days. I spoke with Apple today. No fix if they can’t replicate. I am reinstalling iOS as new device. The only way to fix this issue that works is to reboot phone, sometimes multiple times a day.

Typically audio can only be routed to one device at a time, whether it's Bluetooth or the iPhone’s internal speakers. When connected to Bluetooth or Apple CarPlay, the audio output should switch entirely to that device.

If the audio output is manually switched in the Control Center, you might inadvertently set it to the wrong device. It’s a good idea to check the AirPlay icon in Control Center to make sure the audio is directed to the correct device (car or Bluetooth).

If you're hearing audio through both devices simultaneously (which would be unusual), it could indicate a deeper issue on the iPhone.

This is not the problem at all. The iPhone is linked to either CarPlay or blue tooth. The iPhone loses sound, the song is still playing and there is no sound coming out of the phone, car speakers or headphones. The iPhone has to be rebooted to get sound back. It went away for awhile and now with the latest update, it’s back.
