Why would sound start coming out of my phones ear piece instead of the speaker?

[Koley Craytor]

I have an LG Stylo 5. The sound on it started coming thru the earpiece instead of the speaker. The speaker worked fine until i used and disconnected my Bluetooth ear buds. Now the sound comes through the earpiece n not the speaker. I can hear videos and music through the earpiece but not my notifications. All my volumes are turned all the way up and i haven't dropped my phone. Is there a place in settings to go to fix this and can the issue be fixed? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi, welcome to AC!
You try restarting the device ? If same then go into safe mode otherwise see if any dirt in the speakers or could be bad speaker.
