How to Fix OnePlus 13 Speakerphone Not Working During Calls

If your OnePlus 13 speakerphone is not working during calls, it can make hands-free conversations impossible and cause frustration when switching between normal and loudspeaker modes. The issue can be caused by incorrect settings, app conflicts, or even software glitches.

Fortunately, there are several ways to fix this and get your speakerphone working again.

Why Your OnePlus 13 Speakerphone Might Not Be Working

• Temporary software glitch or system lag.
• Volume set too low or muted during calls.
• Bluetooth or headphones connected in the background.
• Faulty phone app permissions or outdated software.
• Dirt or debris blocking the speaker grills.

Restart Your Phone.

A quick restart can clear temporary system glitches that affect your audio components. It also refreshes the network and audio drivers.

1. Swipe down from the top-right corner of the screen, and then tap the Power icon.
2. Tap Restart, and then wait for your OnePlus 13 to power back on.

Once it reboots, try placing a call and turning on the speakerphone to check if it works.

Check the Call Volume.

If the call volume is too low, the speaker may seem like it is not working when it actually is. Increasing the volume during a call ensures the output is audible.

1. During a call, press the Volume Up key on the left side of the device.
2. Make sure the speaker icon is turned on when testing.

If you still hear nothing, continue with the next fix.

Disconnect Bluetooth Devices.

Your phone may be routing the audio to a connected Bluetooth headset or car system instead of the built-in speaker. Disconnecting Bluetooth ensures the call audio goes directly to the phone.

1. Open Settings, and then tap Bluetooth and device connection.
2. Tap Bluetooth, and then turn it off.

Try using the speakerphone again after disabling Bluetooth.

Clear Phone App Cache.

If the Phone app cache is corrupted, it can affect in-call features like speakerphone, microphone, and audio routing. Clearing the cache can fix this.

1. Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
2. Tap Phone, and then tap Storage and cache. Tap Clear cache.

Restart your phone afterward and test the speakerphone again.

Test the Speaker Using Another App.

Testing with another app helps you determine if the issue is limited to calls or if it affects the speaker in general.

1. Open the YouTube app, and then play a video.
2. Check if sound comes from the loudspeaker.

If you hear sound during playback, the speaker is fine, and the problem likely lies within the Phone app or network settings.

Update System Software.

Outdated software may cause audio bugs or compatibility issues. Keeping your OnePlus 13 updated ensures optimal performance.

1. Open Settings, and then tap About device.
2. Tap OxygenOS, and then tap Check for updates. Install any available update.

After updating, restart your device to apply the new fixes.

Reset All Settings.

If the problem persists, resetting all settings can clear any misconfigured audio or phone-related options. This will not delete your data but will restore default system preferences.

1. Open Settings, and then tap System.
2. Tap Reset options, and then tap Reset all settings. Confirm your choice.

After resetting, test the speakerphone again by making a call.

Once everything is back to normal, your OnePlus 13 should let you switch to speakerphone easily during calls. This simple feature makes multitasking and hands-free communication much more convenient when it works properly.
