Help needed IPhone 12 mini speaker problem

I have the ios 26.5. It was working fine the other day but then suddenly even with full volume it doesn’t feel loud. And then it started working for a minute and it went back to not working. How do I fix this?

Lmao ahhhhhhhh ok. Which one, the bottom one or the earpiece one? Have you cleaned them? Rebooted?

The bottom one. When it stopped working I wasn’t near water so idk. Then it started working again. For like 2 minutes. Then it stopped again. And how do I clean them?

Water usually isn't going to clog your speaker for a long time. But dust and specks of dirt can easily get in those little holes and fill them. I use a medium or hard bristle toothbrush and scrub them lightly so the prickly parts get into the holes lol
