Check your connectors

If there's debris in the Lightning connector or 30-pin dock connector, your iPhone might think there's an accessory connected. Try cleaning the Lightning or dock connector on the bottom of your iPhone with a clean, dry, soft brush, then test the volume again.

Lightning connectors

30-pin dock connectors
