I rely on my phone to function properly at all times and definitely want you to have a good functioning phone, LEEFOR62. Let's take a closer look into what's going on. Has there been any damage to your phone? When did this start? Are you able to use your phone while on speaker phone?

LEEFOR62, we need to get your sound back to your applications. Thanks for your helpful details. Had you updated your software or any applications recently? What did you experience when you rebooted into Safe Mode? Can you listen to recorded videos?

As far as I know, no recent software updates for phone -- at least none at the time the sound went silent.  After Safe mode reboot, there was no improvement.  No sound from recorded videos.

Thanks for your reply.  However, problem was related to the phone in proximity to a bluetooth device that had been paired to the phone.  Since the device was active and paired to the phone, when an app was playing music, it would auto de-select the phone's internal speakers ---- thus no sounds.  The app was playing the music through the bluetooth device until it was de-activated.

Again, thanks.
