Thanks Gordol. I made a Genius Bar appointment for tomorrow morning. I think my apple warranty is up on 3/5/14.
Do your game sounds and keyboard sounds work?I am having the same issue with my phone as well. The alerts for texts will not sound unless my phone is plugged into a car charger or my head set. However the ring tones do work. I do not understand it at all and have tried everything. I took it to the sprint store and they did a back up and cleared my phone and restored and still the same problem. If you ever find a solution to the problem please let me know.... this is so frustrating. The best I can do to even somewhat hear a text is to put it on vibrate and I created my own vibrate tone that is one long tone so if it is on the counter I may be able to hear it.

I was told it might be my headphone jack which seems odd now that a lot of folks have this problem. The tech said that my phone still thinks my headphone jack is in use
We started having this problem with our iPhone 5s a few weeks ago. It's gotten very frustrating with the missed text sounds. No software updates or software changes occurred that might instigate such an issue.
What makes the problem worse is that we might try something, or not try something, and the text sounds return, then go away again. Sometimes during our troubleshooting, we think we may have fixed it, but end up finding there's still an issue.
I am very curious to hear confirmation from people who claim it's been fixed, that it stay's fixed.
Everything tells me it's a hardware issue, as the software on it's own shouldn't create such intermittent issues on it's own. Doesn't make any sense.
As the thread OP, I can report that the problem appears to be resolved for me.I am very curious to hear confirmation from people who claim it's been fixed, that it stay's fixed
