I didn't think of it at the time, and blessedly, it was only once; but the phone shut up and didn't do anything helpful with the triple click home, so just took a chance and kept dragging my finger about to force it to talk, and cranked up the volume buttons with the other hand. Got it back in the end.
Now: I had a thread a year or more ago where you do a particular setting with volume, and can't find it now; you turn something obvious, off; which seemed counter-intuative at the time, but avoids this issue after that. I think it is to stop individual outputs responding to the buttons on the side, so that theyo nly operate the one system volume, the rest are set relative to that in settings and stay put. Hope someone can clarify that, it would obviously be more generally useful.

Hi there I have a 5 s, and I had it happen once where I could not get the volume up without a sighted person doing it. They had to go into Music, call up a song, and then turn up the volume. I couldn't do it because there was no sound coming out until the song was playing silently and the volume was turned up. I had that happen once with my iPhone 4, too. What's weird was that I could hear VoiceOver through the earphones, and with my 5 s, Siri would work fine, including talking. This only happened to me once, but it was very frustrating when it happened. I didn't think about this at the time, but I suppose I could have gotten Siri to play a song and then tried to get the volume up that way.
