Ensure the Speaker Grills are Clean
It is recommended to properly clean the speaker grills so that the lint, gunk, and dust particles do not block them. You may not believe that dust particles clog the ports and speakers of smartphones and cause them to malfunction.
Dirty speaker ports have caused several issues in the past such as the ‘Accessory not certified’ issue. So you should periodically clean the ports, speakers, and microphones with a soft-bristled toothbrush to remove all debris from them.
Ensure Do Not Disturb mode is off
The ‘Do Not Disturb’ mode on iPhone prevents the calls, messages, and notifications from making any sound. So if you are experiencing no sound issues on your iPhone 13, this might be the cause.
