>From time to time Voiceover mutes itself on my phone but it does not appear to have anything to do with me adjusting the volume. It happens unpredictably. When it first happened I thought I had a hardware problem with the speaker.
Weirdly on these occasions Voiceover can still be heard through earphones. The recommended solution, put Voiceover into say all on an application like iBooks or Safari and then increase the volume whilst Voiceover is speaking with the earphones removed does not work for me. Thankfully so far the problem has always resolved itself by one of the following events. 1. Sometimes but not always it clears if I receive a call on the phone. 2. So far restarting the phone has reliably cleared the problem but it is a worry during the reboot.

When in an application the volume is turned down to zero with the button on the side. The app is then closed and/or the phone locked. When I unlock the phone VoiceOver is now silent. VoiceOver is running because icons need a double tap, but raising the volume doesn't help. Indeed, the volume in settings reads 100%. The solution to the problem is to run the app which was last being run, and then the volume buttons do as expected. Has anyone else ever had this problem? I may not have exactly described how the problem comes about, but its as close as I can work out at the mo. It may also have something to do with VO being on the triple home button press toggle.
