- The iPhone 12 are extraordinary phones but, like any other, they can have bugs
- One of those repeated failures has to do with the sound of the equipment, which for some users is a headache, since it disappears, without anything justifying them in appearance
- Although Apple has launched a program to replace a certain defective component of these models, first you have to rule out that yours does not have another type of fault
Until the recent arrival of its successor, the iPhone 13, the iPhone 12 was one of the best phones on the market, so that a huge number of people have a unit in their possession. And, although it is not usual, these computers may experience problems from time to time. For instance, If your iPhone 12 does not have sound, there are a number of causes that could cause this problem, so better know the solution to each one.
Indeed, it is enough to take a look at different forums and social networks, in which it is commented on this Seemingly common iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro issue in its different versions. Eventually, Apple recognized a fault in an internal component of the model, but that does not mean that this is your case, so before resorting to their service, you should rule out other inconveniences.
Update the software first
Hand in hand with the aforementioned iPhone 13, Apple presented to the world its latest version of the operating system, iOS 15, available for several of the previous generations of iPhone and, among them, the iPhone 12, of course.
Before checking the other contents, you should make sure you have updated your iPhone 12 to iOS 15.
To do so, go to Settings, General, Software Update, and Install iOS Updates.
Once you have updated your iPhone 12, assuming then that it still does not sound, you will have to use the following checks that we are going to teach you, performing them in the order in which they are expressed.
Tricks for an iPhone 12 that has no sound
Check the mute switch
Although we could not say that it is a solution like others, from time to time users forget that they have the mute switch activated. Just turn it off, and the sound should come back if it does.
Clean the speakers
On the other hand, especially if your smartphone has been in use for a couple of years, dust may have seeped in inside the speakers, fogging or directly nullifying their ability to emit sound.
Turn off Do not disturb
When Do Not Disturb mode is enabled, calls and notifications are muted, and that could explain everything. You have to check that it is disabled, from Settings, Focus, Do not disturb.
Turn off Bluetooth
If you are playing music through an application, but you are connected to a Bluetooth speaker somewhat far away, or with the volume low, you could have there the response of no sound on your iPhone.
To prevent this from happening, all you have to do is deactivate the device’s Bluetooth.
Check Sound Settings
You have to certify that the sound settings of your iPhone 12 are fine, and you can do that from the device Settings, such as simply raising the volume of the terminal.
Check the Sound Settings in third-party apps
If you are using an app that is not original or developed by Apple, it may be that their own Sound Settings are the one that overrides the audio. You must update via App Store, or check its specific Configuration.
Force restart
Taking into account how reliable the forced restart has always been when it comes to solving repeated problems on the iPhone, and although we try to avoid it, we must bet on this procedure.
You can force a reboot by quickly pressing and releasing the volume up button, then the volume down button, ending while holding down the side button until the screen goes black.
Reset all settings
If the error still persists, you should look at the possibility of resetting all Settings. Of course, we recommend making a backup copy, so that you can later recover them without taking too long.
In iOS 15, you can do it from Settings, General, Transfer or Reset iPhone, Reset
Conclusions
Hopefully, by now you’ve solved your iPhone 12’s missing sound issue so unless the issue had to do with specific hardware, you should be fine.
If this is not the case, and you still have no sound, you should contact Apple Support.
