The headset speaker on your Nokia plays a vital role when you use your phone. Without the speaker, you would have to rely on a Bluetooth headset or earphones to hear callers or media on your phone. When the speaker doesn't work, it could be the result of an application's interference or the need to update the phone's software. If you troubleshoot the other issues and still can't hear from the speaker, the phone may need to be repaired or replaced.
Volume Settings
If the headset speaker on your Nokia N95 doesn't work, check the phone's volume settings. If the volume is set too low or on vibrate, you won't be able to hear incoming calls or alerts. Press the phone's volume key to turn up the sound to an audible level. Place a test call to determine if the sound needs to be further increased. The volume settings on the N95 are automatically saved.
Earphones
Ensure that your Bluetooth headset or earphones are not connected to the Nokia N95 if you can't hear the phone. The sound is diverted to your headset or earphones by default when either is connected. If you are unsure whether the Bluetooth headset is active or not, turn off your Bluetooth through the phone's settings. The Bluetooth connectivity icon will disappear from the phone's screen when it is turned off.
Soft Reset
A running application on your phone may be preventing your Nokia N95's headset speaker from working. Perform a soft reset to stop the application's interference. A soft reset of the N95 does not change the phone's settings. Remove the phone's battery for at least one minute to complete the reset. After replacing the battery, allow the phone to completely reboot before attempting to test the headset speaker.
Software Update
A software update of your N95 mobile phone may provide the fix needed to repair your headset speaker. The speaker's failure could be the result of a software issue that requires an update. Updates for the phone are performed through the Nokia Software Updater PC application. The software is included with your phone. After connecting the N95 to your computer with a USB cable and install the available updates. The application will guide you through the process.
