iOS 14.5 breaks music (Almost fixed)

Thanks for the post.  This alerts me to hold off my IOS update for now because I have 14.4.2 on my phone and the PVZ still plays ok apart from the occasional black screens or ads ending with no X button or termination option (after certain ads).

Edit Correction

You could try using headphone and see if that brings back the music. Of course this is not the solution but it can help to identify the issue.

Do you hear the music when using headphones? 

Wearing air pods does not fix the issue. I currently don’t have access to real head phones at the moment.

I have the occasional black screen/ no X issue on my android devices so it must be an ad issue.

Alright. Air pods are fine...I just wanted to make sure that it has nothing to do with the speakers of your phone. I haven't heard any complains about iOS 14.5 breaking music in PvZ2 so far but I know that sometimes an iOS update can cause such things. 

Here is what you could try:

• Move the Silent switch (on the side of your iPhone) a couple of times
• Go to Settings > Sounds and drag the Ringer and Alerts slider back and forth a few times
• Turn off Bluetooth to see if this will fix your issue
• Reinstall PvZ2. You won't lose your progress because the App store has a backup of you account. Just make sure you take a screenshot of your Player ID. In case anything goes wrong EA can restore your account with your player ID.
• Reset all settings by tapping General > Settings (Unfortunately, some settings like the network settings, Home Screen layout and so on are reset to their default. So you might not want to do this)

Is it just PvZ2 that doesn't have any sound? What about other Apps and phone calls?

Did all the steps except for resetting settings. All apps do have sounds, and also phone calls. I had no problems with those. 

@WilliApple Is it just the 'Music' that isn't playing? What about the 'Sound FX'? You can check that in the PvZ2 settings (wrench icon) by dragging the slider back and forth.

Yea the sound effects play. Music is all the way up. Tried muting and re-enabling it.

Alright. I remember reading a similar issue some time ago. I'll see if I can find out how to fix this. 

Hey bro! I have the Same issue on iOS 14.6 beta 1, so think about it, they didn’t solved this anyway. It is possible that PVZ2 to be incompatible with iOS 14.5. 
I thought that it was me, but now I’m fine, but I wanna play with music. I search all the way on the internet and that’s the single place where I find the same problem.
