This used to happen to me, quite frequently, especially after having the phone on a music dock, then taking it off. Hasn't happened under ios 5.1.1, though. My solution was to call the phone from another line, and raise the volume while the call was live. Sometimes that meant pressing the home button, so that the call screen was not in the foreground.

There is a rotor option for volume, but difficult to use that when VO is not speaking. Actually, I had not thought about this problem for a while, but have not experienced it on my 4s. It used to happen when I was using a 4, though. Don't know if the problem went away, or if a hardware or software upgrade fixed it.
Glad to know you got it working,for now.

Hi all,

this is very bizarre.  Here are several scenarios:

1. voiceover is turned on. no sound whatsoever from the phone. No voice, no background beeps; nothing.

2. someone rings. voiceover behaves perfectly.

3. voiceover is turned off.  Phone behaves perfectly.

I am confused. very very very confused!  help!

cheers :)
