Why can’t I hear anybody while I’m on a call and when I FaceTime it fails..?

I can’t hear anything when I’m on the phone on audio and when I try to FaceTime it doesn’t work it says it “failed” so why is that?

iPhone 7, iOS 15

Two Things:

A. Increase the Volume:

Despite the work "Failed", increase the volume. Does that fix this issue?


B. Disable Bluetooth:

If you have a bluetooth device connected to your iPhone, then disconnect it, simply by disabling Bluetooth:

  1. Go to: Settings
  2. Tap: Bluetooth (so that it is greyed out)

Why can’t I hear anybody while I’m on a call and when I FaceTime it fails..?
