The volume on the phone may be turned down all of the way, or it may be placed at a low setting. This may cause the speakers to emit a low or muffled sound. Use the volume button on the side of the phone to increase the audio to a desired level.

If the volume is increased to a desired setting and there is still no sound, go to settings and uncheck the mute setting.
