How to Fix No Sound on iPhone 12 Pro Max Calls?

Share This:

The iPhone 12 Pro Max is the latest flagship smartphone from Apple, boasting a sleek design, powerful performance, and a range of impressive features. However, like any electronic device, it is not immune to issues. One common problem that some users have reported is the lack of sound during phone calls on the iPhone 12 Pro Max. In this article, we will explore some possible causes for this issue and suggest potential solutions.

Firstly, it is important to check the settings on your iPhone. Go to Settings > Sounds (or Settings > Sounds & Haptics) and drag the Ringer and Alerts slider back and forth a few times. This can help to ensure that the sound settings are not accidentally muted or set to a low volume. If you don’t hear any sound or if the speaker button on the Ringer and Alerts slider is dimmed, it is possible that your speaker may need service.

Another factor to consider is the position of the Ring/Silent switch. This switch, located on the side of your iPhone, controls whether your device is set to ring or be silent. It is easy to accidentally switch it to silent mode and forget to switch it back. Make sure to check the position of this switch and toggle it if necessary.

If the above solutions do not resolve the issue, there are a few other troubleshooting steps you can try. Restarting your iPhone can often fix minor software glitches that may be affecting the sound during calls. Simply hold down the power button until the “slide to power off” option appears, then slide to power off. After a few seconds, press and hold the power button again to turn your iPhone back on.

Updating your iPhone’s software can also help to resolve any software-related issues. Make sure that you have the latest version of iOS installed on your device. You can check for updates by going to Settings > General > Software Update. If an update is available, follow the on-screen instructions to download and install it.

If none of the above steps work, it is recommended to contact Apple Support or visit an Apple Store for further assistance. They will be able to diagnose the issue and provide the necessary solution or service if required.

If you are experiencing the issue of no sound during phone calls on your iPhone 12 Pro Max, there are a few potential solutions to try. Check your sound settings, ensure that the Ring/Silent switch is not set to silent mode, restart your iPhone, and update your software. If the problem persists, contact Apple Support for further assistance.

Why Can’t You Hear Calls On Your iPhone 12 Pro Max?

If you are unable to hear calls on your iPhone 12 Pro Max, there could be several reasons for this issue. Here are a few possible explanations:

1. Volume Settings: Check the volume settings on your device. Ensure that the volume is turned up and not muted. You can adjust the volume by pressing the volume buttons on the side of your iPhone or through the Control Center.

2. Silent Mode: Make sure that your iPhone is not in silent mode. When the silent mode is enabled, you won’t hear any incoming calls or notifications. You can check this by looking at the switch on the side of your iPhone. If it’s showing an orange color, it means silent mode is on. Toggle it to turn it off.

3. Do Not Disturb: Verify that you don’t have the “Do Not Disturb” feature enabled. When this mode is activated, it silences all calls and notifications. You can check this by going to Settings > Do Not Disturb and ensure that it is turned off.

4. Bluetooth Connectivity: If you have connected your iPhone to a Bluetooth device, such as headphones or a car audio system, the sound may be redirected to that device. Make sure you are not connected to any Bluetooth devices and try making a call again.

5. Speaker Issues: Test your iPhone’s speaker by going to Settings > Sounds (or Settings > Sounds & Haptics). Drag the Ringer and Alerts slider back and forth a few times. If you don’t hear any sound or if the speaker button is dimmed, there might be a problem with your speaker and it may require service.

If none of these solutions resolve the issue, it is recommended to contact Apple support or visit an authorized service center for further assistance.

Why is Your iPhone Ringing But No Sound When You Answer A Call?

When you experience your iPhone ringing but no sound when you answer a call, there could be several possible reasons for this issue. Here are a few things you can check and adjust to resolve the problem:

1. Check the Ring/Silent switch: On the side of your iPhone, there is a small switch called the Ring/Silent switch. Make sure it is not switched to the silent mode (orange position). If it is, switch it back to the ring mode (no orange showing).

2. Adjust the volume: During a call, you can adjust the call volume using the volume buttons on the side of your iPhone. Press the volume up button to increase the volume and make sure it is not set to the lowest level.

3. Check the Bluetooth connection: If your iPhone is connected to a Bluetooth device, such as headphones or a car audio system, the sound may be routed to that device instead. Make sure the Bluetooth connection is disabled or try disconnecting from the Bluetooth device to see if that resolves the issue.

4. Restart your iPhone: Sometimes, a simple restart can fix various software-related issues. Press and hold the power button until the “slide to power off” slider appears, then slide it to turn off your iPhone. After a few seconds, press and hold the power button again until the Apple logo appears to restart your device.

5. Check the audio settings: Go to the Settings app on your iPhone, then tap on “Sounds & Haptics” or “Sounds & Haptics” depending on your iOS version. Ensure that the “Ringer and Alerts” volume slider is not set to the lowest level.

6. Update your iPhone’s software: Outdated software can sometimes cause issues with sound and call functionality. Make sure your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS by going to Settings > General > Software Update. If an update is available, download and install it.

If none of the above solutions work, there may be a hardware issue with your iPhone’s speaker or audio components. In such cases, it is recommended to contact Apple Support or visit an authorized service center for further assistance.
