  • If you are using headphones, check that the headphones are secure in the phone. If necessary, try another pair of headphones to determine if the headphones are not producing sound rather than the phone. 
  • Check if your phone is connected to another Bluetooth device and disconnect if necessary for the sound to come out of the phone direct. 
  • Perform a Factory Reset. Please note, this will erase all data and settings from your phone.
