Once in a very long while a cosmic-ray strike or failing power supply or actual hardware defect does really cause a computer to make an error, but the overwhelming majority of "computer errors" are actually programmer errors. The computer is doing exactly what it was told to do, whether that's sending a bill for $0.00, or charging a startled pensioner for a hundred million kilowatt-hours of electricity, or falsely saying an e-mail came from FinkyPieheimer@zoobatz.com.

Ordered a dock on eBay and the seller had the audacity to tell me it was a problem with my iPhone. Negative feedback coming his way! This easy fix took less than 5 minutes.

Turn out the resistor was the issue. 10 seconds at my soldering station and the problem is fixed. My dock will never see speakers - its just a charging and syncing station for my iphone near the computer. Thanks for the tutorial - I dont think I would have been able to get inside the unit without this tutorial! Took longer to open the dock than it did to remove the smd resistor :) Couldn’t work out why it wasnt making any sound – I though the dock had a close to airtight seal around the speakers and caused the sound to be so muffled I couldnt hear it.

You were the first hit in Google for "iphone dock mute" too. Thanks! Marcel: I liked your take on this too, nice hack! Brettville: I had the same problem after some moisture got in around my mute / vibrate switch. I followed an iPhone disassembly guide on iFixit and bought a replacement part off eBay. From memory the part was the "headphone flex cable" or something similarly named, and cost around $10 shipped. Good luck! Ashley: Great find, great explanation.
