I have no sound or poor sound quality when making phone calls or listening to music.

If the screen display shows the volume being turned up or down after you have pressed the volume key but there is no change in volume coming from the speaker, then the speaker may need to be replaced.

If there is a crackling sound when listening to music or phone calls, try plugging a pair of headphones into the audio jack to listen. If the crackling sound goes away, then you may have a blown speaker.
