Ensure your iPhone's Do Not Disturb mode is off, and check the ringer volume and mute switch. Go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics to adjust volume. If the issue persists, test for headphone mode by playing audio on speakers. Clear the headphone jack or lightning port if blocked. Restart the iPhone and update iOS. Still no luck? Contact Apple Support or visit a service center for a hardware check.
