No speaker after install

I installed the newest update for android and now i don't have any speaker sound.
I do get sound when i make a phonecall over the loudspeaker mode but not the speaker.
I can't believe an update would change that in my phone.
There's no option to turn on or off the speaker so i don't know what to do.
 
Welcome to the forums!

This is more likely a phone issue rather than an app issue - which one do you have? (We may more your thread to where others with the same phone can chime in, no big deal.)

There's a common Android problem where updates break the strangest things because the operating system uses caches to operate and those can get tangled up. Backing up your stuff (Helium Backup is pretty good), doing a factory data reset, and then restoring the backup fixes that.

But before going there, let's see what phone you have first and what the update was.
 
I fixed it.
I finally managed to get out my broken piece of speaker cable out of my phone.
The prior version of the software didn't detect it as connected so i still had sound, the new one did detect it so my sound was off.
It was tricky but i did it.
