Were you able to utilize any portions of the instructions

from Apple Support article which led you to post here?


Certain aspects of this may seem lacking. For example

~ IF there is No Sound from Speaker, no matter what.

And if instructions do not help resolve the symptoms.


Then, you'd need to consider an inspection, diagnostic

&/or service for iPhone; to repair cause of the problem.

"If you hear no sound -or 'distorted' sound- from your iPhone, iPad..." - Apple Support


Instructions appear helpful enough; I've bookmarked them

into Mac for future reference.. Just in case they're needed.


Also there are some resets for iPhone which may help.


..I've been exploring mine, after battery was replaced;

ended up using Shut Down ~ then, Restart; it helped..
