But before applying the fixes, make sure you checked the volume settings at least twice. Make sure moth the microphone and media volume are at the maximum level. If your mobile is in silent mode, make sure you turned it off. And one last thing, make sure you have no background apps running, except Snapchat.
I hope you have done all that. Now, Just follow the instructions I am providing here and act accordingly.
