No Sound When Indoors in Older UK Buildings – Fix Some iPhone and Samsung users report that notifications, calls, or media play no sound when inside older UK buildings. The phone appears normal outdoors, but once indoors, audio either disappears or becomes extremely quiet. Unlike speaker faults or headphone issues, this problem often relates to indoor signal strength, network behaviour, and environmental interference common in older constructions.

Understanding What the Lightning Adapter Actually Does The small white adapter isn’t passive. Inside, there’s a tiny DAC (digital-to-analogue converter). This DAC must: - Detect the accessory - Perform a quick handshake - Route audio correctly - Mai...
