Why is my iphone 5 sound not working but only works for calls?

I

iMore Question

So my iPhone vibrates now for all notifications. It's not on silent mode. I can't play music or hear the camera noise. I can call people and still get sound. What's up with that? I heard some people talking about headphones? I just got an aux cord and used it today, could that be it?
Also, I can't force restart my phone because my lock button is broken.

Try sticking the aux cord into the headphone jack & see if it registers. Then take it back out repeatedly until the sound returns. I know it may sound dumb, but this happened to me before, & o found this step to work.

Sounds like the bottom speaker. Also try turning volume up in all 3 places. 1. Side of phone 2. Swipe up control center and turn volume up 3. Go to Settings > Sounds > turn volume up
Also, this sounds odd, but if none of the above works, try going to YouTube and turning the volume up there.
