My iPhone not recording any sound on home videos

Hi,

Videos are not recording any sound. The phone records voice messages, and plays sound on internet videos,

but does not record sound on home videos.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi All,

I have since scraped around the microphone opening and managed to remove whatever buildup was in there, which restored the sound.

Thank you all for your help.

An interesting situation. That goes to show that there’s nothing wrong with the microphone which is good. But I don’t know where to proceed with this based on my personal experience. I would suggest you reach out to Apple Support for further assistance:



Take care John, and good luck.

Hi all,
I believe now that the microphone for the rear camera is blocked. (I can hear noise when i scratch the area near it.) Does anyone know how to clean it? Can it be removed?
Please don't suggest taking it in for service. It's not worth spending any money on.
Thanks,

I think you can get the speakers cleaned free of charge at an Apple Store. But call in and ask to make sure.
