IPad 2 sound issues

I seem to only have sound on my iPad 2 via headphones. I have tried turning it off completely (attached and detached to my charger); I've checked all volume options, including the mute switch, but to no avail. The only thing I have not yet tried is hooking up to my computer as I'm not sure how much it'll really help.  Any thoughts?

You got to be kidding.....    Ok, so you know that this is not a hardware issue, just something messed up in the software.
Out of curiosity, what were you doing when you lost the sound?
So you have already rebooted....  Do a resync on your pc. 
Are you one of those smart people that does a backup,every now and then?  If so, plug in and do a restore from your last backup.  You will lose any data since then, but you can get apps and music and books back with a re download.  If you do the restore, do not let it make a new back up.  What you want is the last good one, before the problem started.
Ifnthat does not droit, you may need to do a full reload.

  • IPad sound issue when playing video from apps

    When I play a video from a link in Facebook or Twitter there is no sound but when I play the same link from YouTube it is fine.

  • Sound issue, my ipad 3 sound doesnt work

    sound issue, my ipad 3 sound doesnt work. ios6

    Hi Naielly,
    Most people will, eventually, have sound problems: the cause can be complex as a 'miss-behaved' app that messes the sound engine or as simple as the iPad being on Mute/Volume Down.

    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!

  • Strange sound issue on iPad2

    my mom is having odd sound issues on her iPad 2 that i was able to somewhat fix. and it goes from fixed back to broken o.O
    i thought it was interesting and worth mentioning, in case this happens to anyone else.
    her iPad 2 is up to date on the latest iOS (5.0.1) and the issue occured while she was watching a video in YouTube. sound is totally off in all apps. in Settings>General under 'use side switch to' it is set to 'mute'. when going to Settings>General>Sounds the volume control for ringers will work and cause the ringtone to play, so it seems the speaker itself is fine. however it will only work there and for that short time. afterward sound will continue to remain off. the volume control on the side of the unit will bring up the on screen speaker icon, except it doesnt show the bar that usually goes up and down with the volume. and sometimes at the top of the grey box it will say 'sound effects'. ive also tried switching the mute on and off which changes nothing.
    the one thing ive found that changes anything is the multi tasking bar volume control (double clicking the home button and then sliding all the way to the left, where it shows a screen orientation lock, brightness slider and a volume control bar). now the volume control bar is unfilled and doesnt show the dot that you can slide up and down to change the volume. however when i plug the iPad 2 into a computer (any computer seems to cause this) the volume control bar will suddenly fill and the dot will appear. now suddenly sound works in all apps and will change with the side control again as normal.
    now heres where it gets even weirder!!!
    sometimes when unplugging the iPad 2, after a short while volume will slowly fade out and be unresponsive again. the side buttons stop working and the volume control in the multi tasking bar will be unfilled and unresponsive. repeatedly plugging it in, going back to the multi tasking bar volume control and unplugging will eventually bring volume back. a couple times ive gotten volume to stay on and the volume bar to stay responsive by unplugging it while im in the multi tasking bar. but sometimes this is not the case.
    for the record, ive tried 'turning it off and on again' and resetting all settings and erasing all content and settings (both with starting up from a back up on iCloud and PC, and starting up as a new iPad). ive used two different laptops, one with Windows Vista and one with Windows 7. the iPad is synced with one laptop but aside from using iTunes to back it up and for charging, ive not made any changes to the iPad using these devices. during the entire duration of my attempts to fix it, the iPad has been on no lower than 80% power. ive also called Apple and discussed this with an Apple Care representative. who suggested all the same things id already done, and walked me through all the fixes to make sure i didnt skip anything.
    hopefully and most probable is that its just an issue with iOS 5.0.1. i also have an iPad 2 thats up to date with 5.0.1 and ive not had this issue, YET.
    i just thought it would be beneficial to the community to share this issue and get word out that this is happening. i would like to hear everyones thoughts on this issue and if this has happened to anyone else. the Apple Representative that i spoke to had not heard of or had to deal with this issue so it sounds like its rather new or rare. though she did mention that this is not normal behavior for the device and might be a software issue.
    id like to conclude with my love for Apple, and how user friendly iDevices are in general. ive had iPods from the very first generation and all of them still work (though the older ones cant be updated past a certain iOS). the few issues ive ever had were easily fixed with a visit to the Apple Store or searching on the Apple Support Communities. so as with before, i will remain positive and look forward to a bug fix in the next update.
    -thanks in advanced for reading, and any comments

    Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod 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

  • Sound issue on iphone 4 - 7.1.1

    My mom has an iphone 4 that was handed down to her from my sister.  After one of the ios updates...can't remember which one...the phone stopped giving audible notifications for text messages.  As I have tried to troubleshoot this issue I have discovered the other following problems:
    The phone will not play music on any speaker.  I was trying to connect the phone via bluetooth to a speaker bar and when I tried to play pandora, I got nothing.  I then disconnected the bluetooth to see if I would get sound out of the phone's speaker and got nothing.  I attempted to play a downloaded song and got nothing.
    I then tried to see if I could find other issues and I did.  When I go into settings>sounds>ringtones I can switch ringtones and hear the ringtone sample.  When I go into settings>sounds>text tone, I can select any tone in the list and all I get is a vibration, no sound at all from any of them.
    I also found that when pressing the volume up and down buttons on the side of the phone do not produce the pop up box that shows volume going up and down
    I believe these three problems to be related as some kind of systematic software bug.  Can anyone confirm this or offer a possible solution. Keep in mind the phone does make sounds when someone calls also from the speaker phone.  The only non-sound issues are text notifications and playing music.  I find this to be a rather important problem because the phone can really no longer be used as a phone since my mom continually misses text messages because she does not get an audible notification.

  • IPAD Sound gone , Headphone works Please suggest

    Suddenly my IPAD sound is gone , None of the application is giving any sound , But when i plugin the Headphone it works .
    I went to the Apple store and showed the  IPAD and they said the Speaker is blown out . and to fix the issue they will charge 300$
    But i am having the hard time to beilive it ,as i was researching on the GOOGLE and found out if you have some dirt or something in the charging hole it may cause the sound to be gone , i tried to clean it and yes it was back for some time it showed the Volume control in the task bar (controler)
    but again it went off after i played it for minute and two .. .and after that i cleaned a lot and it never came up .
    I tried reseting the IPAD rebooting several time and nothing works ...
    seems like i was robbed .. i bought the IPAD for 600$ and now as new ipad is cooming 500$ they are asking me to pay 300$ to repair it .
    I feel like its better to avoide expensive apple stuff if there is no gaurantee .

    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.) http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    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.

  • IPad Sound Question

    We have a sound system at work that we plug our iPhones and iPods in but when we try to plug in our iPad it doesn't play. Is there a setting I am overlooking? The iPad works fine with headphones so I am not sure the issue. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    i do not know why. Your volume could be set low. In any event, if it charges properly forget the no sound issue.

  • HP Envy 4-1215dx Sound Issues

    Hi, I own an HP Envy 4-1215dx. It's a great unit overall, but I am having problems with the audio on it. From the day I took it out of the box it will randomly spew out quick bursts of buzzing/crackling/digital noise whenever I try and play some sort of media, it will appear to have stopped for a while but then start doing it again, it is quite intermitten. It does it with sound from the internet such as youtube, playing MP3's, and even in Games. It is extremely irritating and I need to find a solution. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the audio drivers and have had no luck. Doing a quick google search, I found out that there are several other people with the same problem, yet the only answer they get back is to reinstall the drivers. I have done this already and it does not fix the problem. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hello Livingedge,
    I understand that the driver is an older version. This is the version that is available for your specific product on the HP Driver & Software page. I have been able to locate a driver that is also IDT, but the release date is 2013-09-30. I have included that driver here for you 'IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver'.
    If this driver fails to resolve the sound issue, I would keep an eye on the 'HP Driver & Software' page. This is where if and any updates are available, will be provided here.
    Thank you.
    I worked on behalf of HP

  • Windows Vista major sound issues

    On my 2 month old Unibody Macbook, I'm experiencing severe sound issues with bootcamp 2.1 in windows vista. While playing games such as Halo 2 or Fallout 3, which the macbook graphically handles exceptionally well for a laptop, the sound crackles and often disappears! To get the sound back I have to reboot my macbook. Help, this is extremely annoying, and apple won't do a thing about it!!! Please help!

  • Sound issues with MacBook Pro

    I am experiencing sound issues with my MacBook Pro. I am using a headset and when I am on a skype calsl I have a hard time hearing the other person, the sound is coming in and out and sounds digitized. This issue only started recently, the sound had been working fine for years before this issue.

  • Sound issues in iOS6

    I'm having random sound issues since upgrading iPhone to iOS6. For instance, after using iMessage I will sleep the phone without exiting iMessage. 5 mins later I will have messages sent to me but there were no sound notifications indicating such. Only if I exit iMessage prior to sleeping the phone will I hear notifications of new texts or iMessages.   Also, random sounds like the swoosh when sending an email will mute randomly. I have to shut the phone off and restart before it works again.    Why is this happening?

    If you have a iMessage open and into a message, normally it will not sound.  I think it is because you already have it open and in it.  That is what I have noticed.

  • What is a packet problem? I'm having sound issues.

    I'm at my wit's end. I am having sound issues. I've run diagnostic tests and everything comes back as OK, but it's not OK! Something somewhere is messed up and I can't figure it out.
    I have been to the help rooms on paltlak and opened up support tickets and everything they told me to try has not helped. They suggested I change the sound tuning on my chat program, change exceptions on my firewall, uninstall and reinstall chat program, uninstall and install earlier version, download drivers for sound card, and etc. Nothing is helping this problem.
    Someone mentioned that it may be router problems or packet problems. I'm not sure what that means, and that is why I'm on this forum asking for help. I have no other sound problems on my computer. My music and videos play fine. It's just when I'm in a voice enabled chat, do I experience these problems, or if I'm on a website that has videos, the video will not load all the way, so I only get 30 seconds of a video. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
    I have used this chat service for over 5 years and up until a week or so ago, it worked fine. I did a complete reformat of my computer in hopes that it would help, but I'm still having the same problems. I lose sound within 5 seconds of entering the chat room. Then it takes between 3-5 minutes before I hear sound again, but then I only hear it for a few seconds. Then it goes away for another few minutes. Repeat. Over and over again.
    I'm running Windows Vista on an Acer Aspire 380 with wireless cable modem. I keep losing sound in any voice/sound enabled chat and on any site that has videos. I have 1gig of ram, 300 gb hard drive, 32 bit operating system, 2 processor cores, directx version 9, realtek sound card. Everything is up to date, and firmware is up to date. My speed test is: download: 6.162 mbps and upload: 926 kbps.
    When I do the ipconfig/all, it shows
    Tunnel adapter local aera connection* 6: Media State: Media disconnected
    description: teredo tunneling pseudo-interface
    dhcp enabled: no
    autoconfiguration enabled: yes
    I don't know if this has anything to do with my sound issues on the chat program or not. ??
    Also shows:
    node type: hybrid
    dhcp enabled: yes
    autoconfiguration enabled: yes
    default gateway: 192.168.1.1
    dhcp server: 192.168.1.1
    netbios over tcpip: enabled
    If by chance it is a packet problem, how do I fix that?

    Hi. Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, it just started recently and after not being able to fix the problem, I completely reformatted my computer and started with a fresh slate, but still having the same problems. The videos will not continue to load. They get less than half way and then just totally stop loading, therefore I only get to view the video up to the point where it stops loading. I just took your advice and I disconnected the router and connected my computer directly to the modem and my sound issues were fixed. I went into the voice chat and had sound for over 10 minutes (and then I disconnected) instead of the usual 5 seconds that it'd been. So is it the linksys that is causing this? If so, how can I fix it? Thank-you. Message Edited by nightrider7000 on 01-22-2008 11:34 AM

  • Macbook sound issue after standby

    Hello,
    Bit random issue here..
    This is not consistence but it is totally random. Randomly when i open the macbook lid when it comes out off standby by i hear a weird "ripping" sound issue i think its coming from left hand speaker or side. Im assuming its the speaker.
    Its hard to explain its starts with a weird fuzzyness and then it turns into a rip type sound and stops.
    It last about 2 seconds and is random and only happens after putting up lid.
    Is this normal? any ideas?
    thanks

    no matter how I tried to reproduce the upgrade on 12/14, still unable to fix the

    GTA San Andreas is working fine, now since 2 days i have Battelfield 2 and there is an enourmous sound issue...you play the game a bit..all of a sudden(before fluent gameplay,no problem)sounds start to stuck alot when you listen to the guy talking to its like hes talking in slow motion and the whole sound starts to get grazy...and the performance drops then down to a level where the game is just not playable...me friend has this game 2 and gues what he has the same problem and last guess...he has an audigy 2...suprised?
    If anyone knows this problem and know how to fix it pls let me know...
    and i would like to hear from creative a statement if this is their fault or ea's?
    All other games run supreme,i mean that in the soundish way.
    thx in advance

    I had the same problem with the radio in my game. Turn it from hardware to software mode in the audio options. You'll still get good sound, but it might run a bit slower, as it uses more memory.
