Hi all. These couple of days, the speaker of my Xs Max seems to be going soft, even when I have it on full volume. Restarting the phone doesn't seem to help. Any suggestions on what it might be? Thanks in advance.

Did you spill something? Is it dirty? Is it shoved in a case and that's filthy? My dad had his lightning port go bad partially because of the dirt.

You didn’t mention how old your iPhone was, but it could simply be its age, especially if audio is distorted at maximum volume or sound effects and VO are both affected (I’m experiencing a similar issue).
