IPad Retina sound frequently stops working

I have an iPad Retina with iOS 8.1.2
Regularly the sound on my iPad will stop working. Lately it's been happening when I plug in headphones. I will lose sound to everything; apps, music, videos, clicks. It will often take multiple hard resets to get the sound back. Is there anything else I can do to prevent this from happening. It happens often enough that it is problematic. Thanks for your help in advance.

Hello Tekimj,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the sound cuts out with headphones. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

My iPad sound just stopped working

My iPad sound just stopped working. How can I fix that?

Have you tried restarting your iPad? Press and Hold the Power Button and Home Button for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple Logo on the screen, and then when you see that, you can release both buttons and wait for the iPad to finish booting up. Once it comes back up try your sound again

IPad's auto-rotation frequently stops working.

Hi there, my iPad's auto-rotation frequently stops working and the only way I can get the screen to rotate gain, is to reboot. It used to be once in while but now happens every day which is very frustrating. What can I do to stop this? Thanks, Siobhan

I know you already stated that you have to reboot, but make sure you're doing it this way. I've found some that do it differently and the results can be different.
Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

TS3274 My apps sound has stopped working. Music and Internet sound is fine but all games have no sound

My sound has stopped working only on games
Works fine for Internet and music
How do I fix this?

If you lose 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.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Satellite C650 sound has stopped working

I've had my laptop for about 6months and have had no problems with the sound until now.
I have recently done a windows update and a few hours after my sound has stopped working completely.
I have updated the driver (Conexant Cx20671 smart audio hd) after that failed i un-installed and reinstalled the driver off the toshiba downloads, after restarting again no sound.
When i have media player on, the sound mixer recognizes there is something playing but there is no sound coming out the speakers
_*please can someone help!!!*_

Ok, this means that the sound driver is OK.
Please go to the control panel -> sound -> Playback tab
Here you have to check if the speakers are set as default device.
Furthermore mark the speakers and click on settings button.
There you can also check the volume level.

Have you checked the Mute switch on the side ? If it shows orange/red , its ON
Do you have Do-Not-Disturb set on ? If you can see a quarter moon icon near your battery indicator - its ON.

for ipad,
if you go to settings-General
You can select between using the side switch to lock rotation or mute. If you select one mute, then the lock rotation icon will show up in the control center. If you select lock rotation, then the mute will show up. THe side switch is then used for the other option.

Since downloading iOS 8 on my iPad 2 it has stopped working and will not connect to iTunes

Since downloading iOS 8 on my iPad 2 it has stopped working and will not connect to iTunes to do a restore. I have tried to do a reset using the sleep button and home key and all I get is a white band across the screen and then it boots into the main system but it is just a series of white lines going across the screen, how can I do a restore on this?

Hey dbwithers,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPad after attempting to update to iOS 8. To isolate these issues, let’s try placing your iPad in recovery mode and attempting a restore with iTunes:

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If within warranty (yours is since the warranty is one year) and not abused, Apple will exchange it at no cost.

Sound randomly stops working in Windows 8

I have a new HP PC and the sound randomly stops working. When the sound stops, it stops in all applications: iTunes, Web Browser, etc.
PC DETAILS:
HP Omni 27 all-in-one desktop
Windows 8 Pro
In Device Manager, under Sound, this is what I have:
- AVerMedia H334 MiniCard Hybrid ATSC/QAM
- Bluetooth Audio Device
- IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
I just set up this new pc this week and I have run all the windows and drivers updates so everything is up to date.
When I boot up the pc, the sound works fine for a while and then randomly stops working. For example, if I play music in iTunes 11, the latest version, it may play for 1 minute or it may play for 10 minutes and then it just randomly stops playing sound and the sound will not come back until I reboot and the same thing happens all over again.
I have searched this online and I found quite a few people posting similar sound issues with Windows 8, but I have not found a fix for this problem yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I do not understand that; if it's not installed, it cannot possibly be enabled.

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.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Why does the hdmi sound out stop working once I start using eyetv?

I upgraded to Lion and now I have a few problems. I use the Elgato EyeTV to record television on my Mac Mini. I have been using it for a few years. Now once I watch something on my EyeTV the hdmi sound output stops working and I have to reboot to be able to hear audio from iTunes or anything other then EyeTV. Why is this happening and when will there be an update to fix it?

There were numerous audio issues with OSX 10.6.8 that
were carried over into Lion and not resolved. Issues
with EyeTV was just one of them. May want to check
the Snow Leopard forum for workarounds, if any for your case.
