To fix a phone speaker, first restart your device, check volume settings and disable Bluetooth, then physically clean the speaker grilles with a dry, soft-bristled toothbrush or gentle bursts of compressed air from 6-8 inches away. If sound is still an issue, update your software or consider a factory reset after backing up your data.
