I’m dealing with the same issue. Apple Music shows the song is visually playing but no sound. Close and reopen nothing. Use Spotify or Disney + audio is fine.

Hi there buddy153,


Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're unable to play downloaded songs with Apple Music. Let's see how we can help. If you haven't done so already, try restarting your iPhone. Sometimes a simple restart can fix minor issues. It's also a good idea to make sure you're running the latest iOS version (15.2): Get the latest software updates from Apple.


If the issue persists, reply with the answers to these questions:


  • Do you see an error message when trying to play music? If so, what does it say?
  • Is the music greyed out?
  • Are you able to stream music?
  • If you have another device, does Apple Music work as expected on it?


Cheers.
