My iPhone 11 Pro only plays media when headphones are plugged in

I have an iPhone 11 Pro with iOS 18.5. It is not playing any media in any app (Photos, You Tube, Safai, Music, TikTok) unless EarPods or AirPods are connected. Playing does not even start.

Phone calls work.

I have restarted and reset the settings.


Who has a solution?
