Test out the speakers of the iPhone. See if this is working or not.

 

Fix 5 – Clear the speakers

Speakers can emit low sound volume if they have got jammed during prolonged usage of the iPhone. Dust or other particle accumulation can lead to this issue. So, clear up the speaker grills using cloth to clear off the speaker. You can use an air blower to achieve the same feat as well.
