Quick answer
No sound can be caused by a setting, another audio output, Bluetooth, a specific app, or a physical issue. Before assuming the speaker has failed, play a known source and run a focused test.
Start by checking media volume, disconnecting headphones or Bluetooth, and seeing whether the symptom appears in music, video and speakerphone. If every source is silent, the comparison helps separate playback issues from a speaker problem.
Common causes
