iPhone 7 speaker sounds fuzzy
When I am on the phone and use the speaker the audio is fuzzy but it only effects it when I am on a phone call and other times it is fine should I replace the loudspeaker or could it be hardware related

Hi Jason,
Need to clarify a bit. There are two speakers in your phone, the earpiece speaker that's used when you're on a call, and the lower speaker, AKA the loudspeaker at the bottom of the phone that's used for most other audio.
I'm afraid you confused me a bit when you said it's fuzzy when you're on the phone and use the speaker. Do you mean you put it in speakerphone mode while on a call and it gets fuzzy? Because when you do that, you're transferring the audio from the earpiece speaker to the loudspeaker.
Either way, it wouldn't hurt to try and clean whichever speaker is giving you problems. Take a toothbrush and some 90% or higher concentration isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol and see if you can clean out the speaker grille. It's not uncommon for those speakers to sound bad when they're gummed up, so a good cleaning can sometimes do wonders. If you have some canned air, a good spray with that can also help blow out any dust or dirt that's collected in it.
This part's a little gross, but a lot of people report good results at getting the speaker cleaned out by putting it in your mouth and giving it a good suck. If nothing else helps and you're desperate, I suppose you could give it a try.
Anyway, if all that fails then yes, the next step would be to replace the speaker, whichever one it is that's giving you problems. They're both about the same level of difficulty to replace, which isn't particularly hard, fortunately. Here's the guide you'll need for the earpiece speaker.

Its the speakerphone that I am having problems sorry if I wasn’t clear so are you saying that it could be a board issue with transferring the audio to the loudspeaker if nothing changes once I clean it out or replace the loudspeaker Thanks
Yes, that's correct. I would try cleaning it first and if that doesn't do the job then it would be time to replace it.
