Hi, all.
Okay, my issue is resolved.
This involved some very frantic and frustrating trouble shooting, but here's
what happened in case it happens to anyone else.
As far as I can tell, The Screen got locked and speech somehow got muted
when I tried picking up and then dropping the keyboard.
I deduced this by the fact that I had no sounds at all except for the SIRI
tones Plus, I tried the two finger triple tap or triple tap home and neither
restored speech.
Then, I pressed the power button once and heard the familiar screen unlock
sound. I tried unlocking the screen at this point, but this was
impossible because I couldn't double tap on the right area of the screen. I
was tapping to the left and just above the home button, so I was in the
ballpark, but you know. . .
Then I tried first summoning SIRI and calling myself. the call went
through, just as it would when the screen was locked with VO running. I
couldn't end the call with the 2 finger double tap no matter where on the
screen I tapped. I had to wait for the phone to end the call.
Then I decided to call my voice mail again unlock the phone while the call
was in progress. I used SIRI to make the call, then I used the space key on
the keyboard to unlock the screen and got to the home screen by pressing the
home button twice. Then I unmuted speech with the three finger double tap.
Like I said, the simultaneous VO muting and screen locking occurred using a
slightly dropped Amazon Basics Bluetooth Keyboard and an iPhone 5. I have
no clue what combination of keys needed to be pressed to make this happen,
I'm just glad I got it resolved.

Hi, all.
I was trying to pick up my Amazon basics Bluetooth keyboard and dropped it
while I was picking it up. It didn't fall that far and the batteries,
etc. are still in but now I have no phone noises other than the keypad
phone beeps and the ascending/descending tones you get if you use the Home
button to summon SIRI. I figure I either pressed a funky key combo or
something happened when the keyboard fell, even though it's fine as far as
I can tell.
I realized I had no speech and stupidly started poking around on the phone
and heard the tuch tone noises, so this is how I know about the keypad.
I also tried triple click home with no luck.
I'm not sure how the phone behaves if it's been muted, I mean, do you
still hear keypad and SIRI noises?
Is this muting, and how do I fix it? I'm using the Otterbox defender
case, and if there's a switch up there past the external volume up button
I can't feel it.
I'm usually a figure it out as I go person, but
I'm leaving later this morning so need to figure out how to fix this or if
I can use the phone until eyes are here to hopefully se the screen.
