IPad 2 sound is not consistent

My ipad 2 sound goes is stages from sounding like crap to sounding normal and then no sound and back again.  The whole process can take a couple of weeks to no sound for a week.  Tried a power down and it brought the sound back but the sound is bad.  Any ideas?

(A) Try 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.
(B) Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings for Wi-Fi, FaceTime, Message, Home Sharing will be reset

    Does it work in any apps e.g. Music and Videos but not others ? If Music and Videos still have sound then have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
    Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

  • My ipad sound is not working except when my head phone is connected

    Plz help my ipad sound is not working but is when I put headphone.the sound comes when I activate Siri but otherwise no sound comes from ipad. the volume button is not workin but it used to. The slider thing to increase volume in the task bar is halfly gone means that dot is not there to increase volume

    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.

  • My new iPad sound is not working after updating to ios 6.1

    My new iPad sound not working after updating to ios 6.1. Headphones are working fine. I tried all the troubleshoot. can anyone know the answer, plz share with me

    Hi,
    I have exactly the same issue as everyone above. I only get sound through the slider on the ringtone in settings and through my headphones. I do not get any sound anywhere else at all.
    I Have tried:
    - Updating to iOS 6.1.3
    -re starting the device
    -checking that the device is not muted. My slider switch is set to mute rather than lock and is unmuted.
    -going into general settings and reset all settings
    -the device reset several times (waiting until I saw the all important apple logo)
    -removing the last few apps I installed.
    Nothing at all has worked, please help!

  • Ipad sounds is not working, for instance key board does not click anymore

    My iPad's sounds are not all working properly.  For instance, I can watch video clips and hear everything, but some apps do not play sounds or when typing on the keyboard, no clicking.  The noise it typically makes when  you plug it in to charge is gone as is the click sound when opening the screen.  Can anyone provide any help or insight as to what may be causing this?  I have looked in settings/sounds and all is correct.
    thank you.

    Is Settings > Sound > Keyboard Clicks ON?
    Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
    Note: You will not lose any data.

  • Sound levels not consistent

    On my iphone 4S (and on my older 3Gs), i've noticed that sound effect levels (email alerts, SMS alerts, screen locking) are not consistent. Sometimes they are louder than other times, and sometimes they're not happening at all. I've got the volume up all the way too.
    anyone else?

    Turn on Sound Check.
    Run iVolume.
    That's all there is to it.
    *Can anyone tell me if I can run iVolume even though iTunes does not seem to adjust the volume using sound check.*
    iVolume is an application itself. It integrates with iTunes a bit it does not alter iTunes at all. It simply analyzes the sound file and stores the info in the sound file.
    Run iVolume on some songs, then turn Sound Check On and Off.
    If they sound different, it works.
    Not all songs will change a lot.

  • IPad sound games not working

    My iPad sound works fine for video and music but on many games like angry birds and others there is no sound. Yes I made sure the games weren't on mute.

    The games are not on mute, but system sounds on the pad are muted.  If you have the side switch set to mute(as oppoed to rotate) flip it and see it the sounds are back.  If you have the side swith set on rotation, then double tap the home button, swipe all the way to the left, and change the mute there.
    The mute function only controls system sounds, not music or videos.  Some games use those sounds for game play.  You can be muted and never even notice in general usage, until you notice the lack of sounds from a game.

  • IPad available memory NOT consistent with available memory shown in iTunes and available memory reduced after a connected sync...doesn't make sense.

    I was looking through my pictures on iPhoto on my iPad 2 and noticed in some of my albums there were duplicate pictures, but on iPhoto on my iMac there wasn't. I had also noticed that my 64GB iPad 2 had only a little over 14GB left for available memory. I decided to connect my iPad2 to my iMac and sync it with itunes but this time I unchecked Sync Photos. I was asked to remove photos which I agreed to. My intnet was to re-install my photos in hopes that I would no longer see the duplicate photos and quite possibly free up some memory. In short, none of that worked and instead the pictures remained on my iPad2 and my available memory jumped to 956MB. I then tried selecting a " Selected Events, Faces, Albums..." in the Photo section of iTunes but I did not select any albums or events or faces. The sync ended and I still had all of the pictures on my iPad2 with 7GB left of available memory showing on my iPad2 but now showing 12GB on my iTunes on the iMac.
    I then tried to do a sync again, syncing all photos and the sync cancelled. I tried it again and it went through. This sync ended with 14GB of available memory showing on iTunes on my iMac, BUT on my iPad2 it showed 7.1GB.
    None of this makes any sense. I guess I could have left it alone and viewed duplicate photos but if duplicate photos were causing available memory to be reduced, I wanted the memory to come back up for future use.
    Also, I noticed that the amount of photos being synced has randomly changed on a couple of these occassions as if I had more or less photos to sync and I haven't. I'm not sure what would cause this either.
    Where it says "Other" in the memory bar in ITunes on my iMac is 26.34 GB. Before I did the first sync it was a little over 7GB. What would cause the "Other" to consume so much memory? and what is "Other" Why did it fluctuate so drastically when I've made no changes to my iPad?
    I hope I can get some help to this.
    Thanks!

    "Other" can be the cause of this storage capacity snafu that you have going on with your iPad. "Other" is pretty much what it sounds like it should be with regard to what is stored on your iPad. It is "stuff" associated with apps but not the apps themselves or any other media. It consists of Safari Bookmarks and history, Notes, text messages, email messages, contacts, photos associated with contacts and items of that nature. It should not be anywhere near 26 GB and the fact that you have much is a little bit of a problem.
    Sometimes the only way to rid your device of that bloated "other" is by restoring as a new device without using the backup. There could be something corrupt on your iPad and if you restore from a corrupted backup, you will just end up back where you started. Also, sometimes this issue is caused by syncing photos and while I don't know this for a fact, it might have something to do with the metadata associated with the photos that gets corrupted and then that might cause this "other" storage problem.
    Take a look at some of these and see if something in one of them helps.

    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    (B) Swipe upwards from bottom of screen to launch Control Center. Make sure sound is not muted (tap the little bell)

  • IPad sound not working

    iPad sound not working. Need help

    Is it working on any apps e.g. Music and Videos apps but not third-party apps or notification sounds ? If you do get sound in Music and Videos then have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
    Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar.
