HT204266 The sound no longer works on my ipad?

The sound no longer works on my iPad although when I put headphones in it does. When I press the volume button it comes up as "sound effects" but with no dots that would normally go up or down. When I double click the start button there is the normal volume bit but no button to move up or down. Has anyone ever had this before?

The disappearing sound is typically one of three things that could be going on. Read this and see which one applies to your situation.
1. If you have no sound at all, even in the Music App, try rebooting the iPad.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
2. If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.

3. If you still have no sound at all - except when using headphones ....try cleaning the dock connector opening of the iPad with a soft brush and just a little bit of rubbing alcohol.

  • The sound no longer works in my husband's iPad and it keeps shutting itself down. This started today. We checked all the settings and everything looks right. Is there something we might be missing?

    Try a reset first: Press and hold both Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears.
    If the reset doesn't fix it, try a restore:

  • TS3274 the sound is not working on my ipad, it stops working on and off, will work with ear phones and then it will stop working

    the sound on my ipad is not working.  It will work on and off and then cut out all together.  Sometimes if I use the ear phones it will work for a while and then it will cut out all together

    Reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

    You have system sounds muted. Read my boilerplate about this issue.

  • After migrating to iPad 2, the sound no longer works in many applications.

    I just upgraded from ipad1 to ipad2 and trasferred most of the apps. However, many of them now have no sound. E.g., skype and youtube videos work fine,
    but things like the Time Warner Cable app, Al Jazeera app, CNBC app, all now have video with no sound. The volume button doesn't even bring up the usual
    floating menu when using those applications. Anyone else notice the same problem?

    Hi, I seem to have a similar problem with my IPad. My switch is on rotation lock as it seems it is supposed to be there, but when I receive calls with Skype It rings but I can't hear anyone speaking and I have video in YouTube, but yet again no sound. My IPad sounds work perfectly - I just have this one problem. Can you maybe give me some advice please?

  • Mail Sounds No Longer Work on iPhone 4.

    The sounds for mail, incoming or outgoing, no longer work on my iPhone 4 (4.3.3).  All it does is vibrate even though that is set to Off.   All the other feature settings are set to ON. I have checked all the sounds and they work, they just don't work with the Mail any more.  This is a MobileMe IMAP account.  I tried re-setting everything without deleting data and that made no difference.  The sounds worked perfectly up until a week or so ago.  Any ideas on how to have them function again?  In addition, when I connect the iPhone to my iMac (Snow Leopard 10.6.7) the phone also vibrates.  This is a new feature as well.  Any chance a setting in iTunes might have caused this, and, if so, how to remedy it.
    Thanks!

    Problem solved.  No further action.

  • Sounds no longer working on iPhone 4

    Hello,
    So a few days ago I dropped my iPhone 4. I'm not 100% sure but I think that is when my sound stopped working. The speakers are working fine, I can hear music and things like that. None of the phone sounds such as clicking when lock/unlocked, keyboard clicks etc are working. When I press the + and - volume buttons the icon does not appear, same as when i mute/unmute it. No sounds, nothing appears. Also, when I receive incoming calls the ringer no longer works.
    I have tried cleaning with toothbrush, restarting, restoring, blowing in the phone, etc.
    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    I do not have insurance on my phone (I know, I know) but I was in the process of buying a house and moving when they did the switch from mobileprotect to att&t so I apparently missed it and it was too late :/

    I have no doubt that this is a hardware issue, probably caused by the drop as you said. By restarting and restoring without success, you have basically ruled out a software issue. All you can do now is pay $149 for an out-of-warranty replacement, or try to find one elsewhere for cheaper.

  • Sound no longer working after graphics card installation

    Okay, so my problem is:
    I recently added a graphics card to my windows 8.1 PC. The card itself works fine (a GTX 750Ti), but since installing it my sound no longer works from either port. Things I have already tried:
    Rebooting (obviously)
    Taking the card out and then replacing it
    Going through all the control panel audio settings (more on this later)
    Disabling the HDMI audio on the card
    Trying different (provably working) speakers and headphones
    Updating/installing drivers (not that you need them for headphones)
    The "playback devices" screen declared that nothing whatsoever is plugged in (it is). I'm concerned I might have damaged something during installation, but nothing seems obviously damaged, and I would have expected static to either do no damage
    or wipe out the entire motherboard. The back port is working, so it isn't the cable. My monitor output is HDMI (with no speakers on the monitor), if that makes any difference.
    Penny for anyone's thoughts?

    The back port is working, so it isn't the cable.
    I’m confused as to what this means. If you have audio via the ports on the back of the computer but not in front ports you may have damaged the front audio cable or connection on the motherboard
    or at the front ports. Find the HD Audio (or AC’97) port on your motherboard and verify that the cable is connected and intact, then follow this cable forward to your front audio ports. If you stressed this cable by tugging or pushing, it could have damaged
    the connection to the front ports. Sometimes these ports are connected by a header like the motherboard and this connection could have come loose.

  • My sound no longer works, my sound no longer works

    Since i downloaded new OS my sound no longer works, this if for itunes, spotify and trying to listen to youtube videos

    I just found out that a few of my slideshows have the music intact.  For the rest, it looks like I will have to go through the cumbersome process of re-loading the music.
    I can't tell is this was caused by the Mavericks upgrade or Iphoto Update.

  • Hello, I've updated the iPhone I have got I have a problem I hope you respond to some of the applications no longer work, such as the safari and skype and many applications are no longer working with the ios7.0.4

    Hello, I've updated the iPhone I have got I have a problem I hope you respond to some of the applications no longer work, such as the safari and skype and many applications are no longer working with the ios7.0.4

    Standard troubleshooting...
    1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider.  Slide to power off.  Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
    2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    3. Remove apps from Recently Used (multi-tasking) list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Swipe up on the app preview card to remove it from the list
    - Press the home button when done.
    4. If still a problem restore with your backup.
    5. If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

  • HT1657 I rented a movie and the sound doesn't work, how do I fix it?, who do I direct to for a complaint?

    Hi, I rented warhorse HD, and the sound doesn't work, my itunes version is 10.6.1(7). How do I fix it or who do I direct to get my money back? Thank you

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)
