One of the most common issues people experience with their Lifeproof cases is muffled sound. Fortunately, there are a few simple steps that can help you diagnose and fix the problem. In this article, we’ll go through the process of troubleshooting a Lifeproof case for muffled sound, and provide some tips for preventing it in the future.
Troubleshooting Muffled Sound on a Lifeproof Case
If you’re experiencing muffled sound when using your Lifeproof case, here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:
Step 1: Check the Volume
The first step is to make sure that the volume on your device is turned up loud enough. If the volume is too low, it can be difficult to hear clearly. Try turning up the volume on your device and then re-testing the sound.
Step 2: Check the Fit
The next step is to make sure the Lifeproof case is properly seated on your device. If it’s not securely attached, it can cause sound to become muffled. Make sure that the case is completely sealed to your device, and that there are no gaps.
Step 3: Check the Speaker
If the volume and fit are both fine, the next step is to inspect the speaker on your device. Make sure that there’s no debris blocking the speaker, and that there’s no damage to the speaker itself. If you’re using an iPhone, for example, make sure that the speaker isn’t blocked by the case.
Step 4: Check the Audio Settings
The last step is to make sure that your device’s audio settings are configured correctly. If you’re using an iPhone, make sure that the balance is set to the center, and that the equalizer is set to “Flat.” If you’re using an Android device, make sure that the settings are configured to the default.
Preventing Muffled Sound on a Lifeproof Case
Once you’ve troubleshot and fixed the problem, there are a few steps you can take to prevent it from happening in the future. Here are a few tips for preventing muffled sound with your Lifeproof case:
Tip 1: Keep the Case Clean
It’s important to keep the case clean and free of dirt and debris. If there’s dirt or debris on the case, it can block the speaker and cause muffled sound. Make sure to inspect the case regularly and clean it when necessary.

It’s also important to make sure that the case is properly seated on your device. If it’s not securely attached, it can cause sound to become muffled. Make sure to check the fit of the case regularly, and make adjustments when necessary.
Tip 3: Use a Volume Booster
If you’re still having trouble hearing clearly, consider using a volume booster. There are several apps available for both iOS and Android devices that can help boost the volume on your device. This can help make sure that your sound is loud and clear.
