My phone is fucked I think, was intermittent to start with, usually solved by rebooting but now it's all the time. 
 
If I open a video, music, record something, whatever, I have no volume bar, no sound from the speakers at all and my videos record with no sound. 
 
Wtf do I do?

Robin, 
If it appears more software that hardware, I had this all the time on my 4S. 
 
towards the end, if I tried adjusting volume, the volume would mute and no matter what I did, it wouldn't return. 
Using the volume buttons brought up the volume control, but there was no bars going up/down.

I think it was a dust issue, before, it was like it was plugged into a speaker dock, no volume control at all and speakers effectively muted, no volume bar showing. 
 
Fine now though so hopefully cured for a while.
