Part 1. Why Does iPhone Have No Sound
Your iPhone must give off the sound in the 3 distinct functions: notifications, calls, videos/audio. Please check the detailed reasons why the sound on your iPhone is not working under the 3 situations.
Sound Not Working on Notifications
Notifications/alarms work in different ways compared with calls and videos, so it doesn't mean you may fix your iPhone having no sound when receiving notifications if you've merely turned up the volume.
1. The Sound Feature Is Off
Maybe one app has been disabled to the Sound feature when notifications come, so you can't hear the notifications' alerts. You should know that you can change notification sounds in settings and turn on and off the sound feature.
2. The Silent Switch Is On
You must know that the Silent Switch can determine whether notifications give off sound. If the Silent Switch is on, your iPhone will have no sound on notifications. So, just check the Silent Switch near the volume buttons on the upper left side of your iPhone.
Sound Not Working on Videos
If the videos still have no sound on your iPhone when you've turned up the volume, you can check the probable reasons below.
1. Earphone Mode
Why is your iPhone switched to the headphone mode? Maybe you forgot to disconnect your AirPods or wire headphones, or there's dirt blocking your earphone port on your iPhone 6 series or older models, which will cause your iPhone to switch to the headphone mode, and then there's no video sound on your iPhone.
2. Bluetooth Connection
If your iPhone has connected to a speaker by Bluetooth, and the speaker is mute or doesn't work by accident, you still can't hear the video sound on your iPhone. This is too bad luck, but it still has the chance to happen. Also, this will cause your iPhone to have no sound in all situations.
3. Sound Not Working on Calls
If the call ringer doesn't work, it may be caused by all reasons mentioned above. Whether it's alerts or video sound, the causes are similar when they give off no sound on your iPhone. The worst case is a malfunction of your iPhone speaker. In this situation, you can only resort to a repair store or Apple after-sales services.
Part 2. 5 Ultimate Solutions on iPhone Has No Sound on All Situations
If you've viewed the reasons why your iPhone has no sound, then you need to know how to fix this irritating problem. You can find 5 powerful methods that can deal with different causes.
No Sound on Videos
If you find your iPhone still has no sound when playing videos or music even though you've turned up the volume, you can check if your iPhone has connected to a Bluetooth speaker that doesn't work currently. If so, just disconnect the Bluetooth on your iPhone.
Go to your iPhone's Settings app, and then tap the Bluetooth button. On the following interface, tap the Bluetooth button to turn it off.
If the video still has no sound on your iPhone, it should be your iPhone speaker's or the video's issues. A broken or dirty speaker should be sent for repair, while a powerful video fixer can deal with the video's issues.

No Sound on Notifications/Alarms
When notifications have no sound on an iPhone, the causes will be diverse. Aside from Bluetooth connection, silent mode, speaker problems, or headphone mode, a wrong notification setting should also be considered.
Go to Settings and slide down to find an app whose notifications have no sound. Then, tap the Notifications button. You'll see many settings here. You need to tap the Sounds button to turn it on. The next time the app sends you notifications, your iPhone will give off a sound when the banner appears.
As for iPhone alarms without sound, an additional reason may be the conflicts between Alarm and Health. If you set the alarm to the same schedule as the Health feature, and the Health feature has no access to the Sounds feature, then your iPhone may have no sound when the alarm rings.
Open the Health app and tap the Browse button. Slide down to tap the Sleep button. Then, tap the Ful Schedule & Options button. In the new window, tap the Sleep Schedule button to turn it off.
No Sound on Calls
The causes of calls without sound on your iPhone are the same as mentioned above so you can find corresponding solutions in this article. Maybe you can try soft resetting your iPhone, which is the least method. However, you can follow the below to check if your speaker is broken.
Go to "Settings" and tap the Sounds & Haptics button. Drag the volume bar front and back. If you can't hear the sound, you can send your iPhone for repair.

Part 3. FAQs about No Sound on iPhone
Does the iPhone Do Not Disturb mode block all calls?
No, it doesn't. You can set the Do Not Disturb mode to let in calls from your desired contacts. Then, you'll receive their calls even in the Do Not Disturb mode.
Why can't I hear anything on my iPhone unless it's on speaker?
This is probably because of hardware issues. Your iPhone's bottom speakers fail to work, so the system sound doesn't work on your iPhone unless you turn to speaker mode.
Why does the iPhone ringer still have no sound even though I've turned up the volume?
Make sure that you don't turn up the volume in a video or audio interface, or the volume won’t work on the ringer. You can turn up the ringer's volume directly in Settings.
