Start speaker testStraight answers before you test.
01How do I fix my phone speaker?+
Start by identifying the symptom. Disconnect Bluetooth, remove the case and test ordinary audio. Use the water eject sound only for a wet or muffled built-in speaker; use the speaker test for silence, distortion or low volume.
02Why does my speaker sound muffled?+
Common causes include a nearby water droplet, a blocked grille, a case covering the opening, Bluetooth routing or hardware damage. A controlled test helps separate these before you decide on repair.
03Can a speaker-cleaner sound fix every audio problem?+
No. Sound may move droplets near a working speaker grille, but it cannot repair damaged hardware, clear a charging port or correct microphone, Bluetooth and software problems.
04When should I stop testing and get repair help?+
Stop if the device becomes hot, will not power on, has a swollen battery, was exposed to saltwater or chemicals, or remains silent or badly distorted after adequate drying time.
