Adjusting sound in iPad separately?

I have ought iPad 3 recently. The thing I noticed is that when I use physical buttons to adjust sound, it sets only sound for media (music, movies), but not for the effects (keyboard clicks etc).
If I go to the settings - general - sounds and turn on set sound effects with buttons, physical controls work only for effects, but not for the music.
Is it possible to control all the sounds and music with physical controls altogether?

I have the iPad2 and it is not only annoying, it is plain stupid and confusing. OK I understand having different volume levels for different things, but why can't we adjust them in settings?
Settings only has one volume control, which I assume is for media (except media embedded in webpages). Sound effects have their own volume control that you can't knowingly get to for adjustment, unless you are trying to adjust Media volume of an embedded web video only to find that you can't!!!!!
WTH, who designs this stuff and thinks this is great! It's a feature! I don't need the ipad to be smart about volume settings, because it ends up being really, really stupid as a result. If we're going to have three volumes, what we need is three volume sliders in settings, a main volume for media on the device, a sound effects volume for notifications, and a web-media volume so I can play youtube videos without them blasting noise when I KNOW I MUTED MY DEVICE!!!!!
Only with Apple does Mute not actually mean Mute. "we've redefined mute, our mute is Different, Think Different(ly)"

Sound on ipad and iphone

Since updating to os7.1.1 i lost my safari sound on ipad and iphone

Hi pr1uk,
It appears your devices are experiencing audio issues. The following article provides steps which may help you find a solution:
If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support
Follow these steps and test the sound after each one.
Go to Settings > Sounds and drag the Ringer And Alerts slider to turn the volume up.
If you can hear sound from the speaker, then the speaker works. Continue with these steps to find the setting or switch that's affecting the sound. If you can't hear sound from the speaker, contact Apple Support.
Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is set to ring. If you can see orange, it's set to silent.
Restart your device.
Open an app that has music or sound effects. Adjust the volume with the volume buttons or the slider in Control Center.
Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn off Bluetooth.
If there's still no sound, connect a headset. If you can hear sound through the headset, remove it and clear any dust or debris from the headset jack of your device.
If the device is in a case, make sure that the case doesn't block the speaker.
Use a brush to gently clear any debris from the speaker and Lightning connector (or 30-pin dock connector). The brush should be clean and dry and have soft bristles.
Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
If you followed these steps and still hear no sound or distorted sound, contact Apple Support.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

My Bluetooth keyboard adjusts sound, and brightness but won't type

My Bluetooth keyboard adjusts sound, and brightness but won't type. Turned it on, off and put in new batteries.... What's wrong?

I used to able to access and listen to my itunes library from my ipad using the remote app but this no longer works. I am connected but sound thru ipad. Is this because of they want us to use itunes match

I used to able to access and listen to my itunes library on my ipad using the remote app but this no longer works. I am connected but sound thru ipad- just controls my library on iMac. Is this because of they want us to use itunes match

That has nothing to do with iTunes match. The Remote app on iPad can control the computer's iTunes but not play content from iTunes on your iPad.
To play for example iTunes imusic on iPad
You need to have Home Sharing On.
Check Settings > Music > Home Sharing (key in your Apple ID & password here, must be the same on computer's iTunes)
Start iPad's Music app, tap the ... More (bottom right), tap Shared.
Choose your iTunes' library and have fun.

How to turn off volume adjustment sound under Windows 7

Hey all,
I'm running Windows7 x64 on an Intel iMac (July 2010 revision).
Things are running well for the most part. However, I am unable to find a way to turn off the blooping sound played when adjusting the volume in Windows 7 (I know how to turn it off in OS X). I have tried turning off all system sounds under Windows,but the volume adjustment sound still plays. Does anyone know how to turn this off? I find it jarring. I would appreciate any help that anyone can give.
Thanks.

That too bad because I use the MBP to do my radio show and it's very annoying. I know you can turn it off on the mac side.

Sound on iPad is not working and I've tried all

sound on iPad is not working and I've tried all.. Someone HELP me

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

To solve some sound problems, just follow these simple steps
1. Go to Settings
2. Tap on General
3. Tap on Reset
4. Tap on Reset All Settings
What this effectively does is to reset some of your Settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It doesn’t affect your data. All of your email accounts will remain intact, as well as any SMS text or iMessages.

Intermittant sound on iPad

Ihaving intermittant sound on iPad. I have done numerous soft &hard resets, checked all settings (nothing to do with side switch) sound present with earphones and works when checking ring tone but when playing music keeps cutting out & slide volume bar disappears also?? It affects the keyboard clicks as well.

Looks like an internal fault with the auto card. I would suggest taking your iPad to a local Apple store for further diagnostics.

HT4085 Temple Run2 app has disabled sounds on iPad, has anyone had this happen? If so, how was it restored?

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

Hi guys and gals I am a newbie to this site and have just purchased an iPad 2.
I have the Australin app called Ninenewsbreak and the app works well on my iphone4 BUT the sound won't work on my iPad.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled it 3 times and still no sound.
This app is for the iPhone and iPad according to the advert in the app store.
The sound works great on the iPad for other apps downloaded.
Has anyone had the same problem and if so can you tell me how to fix it.

I hade muted the audio somehow.
To fix it I double pressed the home button, scrolled all the way to the LEFT
