These replies to this question with a link about iPhone speakers are no help whatsoever. Pay attention, the question said speakers are good.

Technically, the receiver is also a speaker.


Clean your receivers and speakers
Remove all screen protectors, films, or cases from your device. Check the speaker opening to see if it's blocked or dirty. On iPhone only, make sure that the receiver is not blocked or dirty. If necessary, clean the speaker or receiver opening with a small, soft-bristled brush. Make sure that the brush is clean and dry.
