I have an SE third GEN running 18.5. Yesterday I discovered that the volume buttons weren’t working to turn the voiceover down. I reboot rebooted the phone, but when it came up, nothing would talk. I could feel the haptics, but no voice over. VO came back after a few hours, thankfully. But, nothing else will talk. I opened the radio station app that I have and it would not play. The book I was reading on bard will not play. Several other things will not play. Is this fixable, or has my phone reached the end of its useful life?

If voiceOver is off?
Can you play media when VO isn't running? Doesn't sound VoiceOver related to me. However, if media does play then something is obviously going on. Either way very strange.

I took the phone to church to ask someone to take a look at it. He opened one of the apps that was not working for me, and, of course it worked. It was apparently something to do with my Wi-Fi, and it reset itself when it was away from my network. I’m back connected to my network, and everything is working fine. now, I hope it stays that way.
For what it's worth, Re: SE 2022
I am also running an SE 2022, and it works fine with 18.5. Of course there are the few bugs that have been documented here on AppleVis, but overall, the device still has plenty of life left in it.
I'm glad you got your device and Wi-Fi sorted out. 🙂
