IPad speaker problems

In June 2011, I bought a refurbished iPad. Earlier today, it was working perfectly, the only thing that changed was that I charged it, then the speakers stopped working properly. The volume switch on the side of it suddenly doesn't work, and with the volume bar on the touch screen that shows when you are listening to music doesn't stay, you have to hold it down to hear any sound. Even when I hold down the button, the sound comes up jarbled and interrupted. What should I do?

Looks like an hardware issue. Probably the iPad is less than 1 year, so you can go to an Apple-store to let it repair free of charge. Carefull, if the warranty does not count, you'll have to pay.

  • Post IOS 8.1.3 iPad speaker problems, Help!!

    After updating to ios 8.1.3 all sounds coming from my iPad (32 GB 4th gen.) have major static distortion undertones; including key sounds, music, audio & video etc. This occurs at ANY volume, & I've never listened to very loud music on the iPad.
    I really do not think I could have damaged my speakers, and the simple fact that the same debilitating static sound is being transmitted through to my Bluetooth speakers is very strange?!
    (I updated to the latest IOS; 8.1.3, in hopes of fixing another  volume related problem; certain apps that have small audio files (dictionaries) were not functioning, and although my settings for "Key Clicks" and "Lock Sounds" were always "on"- suddenly they disappeared. Now they're back with a horrible static noise. Apart from "rebooting" or soft resetting my iPad- I have no clue what to do?
    Any help would be a fantastic.
    (I was also wondering if I'm the only one out there who seems to have a defective power supply port- every time I find an "Apple made & approved" lighting cable, after 2 to 4 months the iPad stops detecting it at all- or I'm given messages reading; "this accessory is/ may not be compatible with the iPad..."!  I almost wish for the days of the 32 pin cables- I imagine micro USB's were never even an option at Apple!) Any help or information about this would be sincerely appreciated! Thanks! 

    I had this problem, too, I my iPad with Retina display (~ 2 years old).  Luckily we were just under our extended warranty, so we had a new device shipped to us (another iPad with Retina display).  I installed the backup from the original iPad using iTunes, and everything has been working well for about two weeks.  Now, all of a sudden, we're getting the same static-like undertones through some apps and the lock/unlock and keyboard sounds.
    Before I sent the first iPad back to the company, I did a complete factory reset on it.  I noticed after the factory reset that the sound on the original iPad had returned to normal (at least as far as the key pad is concerned).
    My plan for the replacement iPad at this point if this keeps up is to back it up using iTunes, give it a factory reset, and restore it again from the iTunes back-up.
    I would certainly be curious to hear if anyone else is experiencing these problems.

  • I got speaker problem on iPad 2 once after I upgraded to iOS 7.3. Any idea? Please help

    I got speaker problem once I upgraded my iPad into iOS 7.0.3. Any idea? Please help.

    Go into the settings and reset all settings. See if that helps.

  • Solved my scratchy speaker problem. Do a hard reset. Home,sleep button. Hold till screen goes blank.

    Had a scratchy speaker problem and strange sounds when ipad shutdown. Hold the home button and sleep button till screen goes blank. Turn on after a minute or two. Fixed it on ipad 4. Good luck.

    Apple replaced with new phone under warranty, had to haggle a little to get that done.  Set up new one as a new phone, not from a backup, so as to not transfer any possible software issues to the new one, still re-setting up everything...      all was good for the first week or so, now this one does the same thing, plus a new issue.    While on calls the screen will go black, and the absolute only way to get control of the phone again is to hold both buttons down until the apple logo appears and phone restarts. Additionally, sometimes it will now become unanswerable when receiving a phone call, has only happened on vibrate, but it will go into a continuous vibrating mode and no way to answer the call or stop it, other than the two button restart.  Does it on normal calling, and on 4g lte calling setting (verizon).

  • IPad speaker only plays one channel

    I have a 3rd gen. wifi iPad 16 gb and just updated to iOS 7. Listening to the Beatles (who often had some pretty extreme stereo mixes) over the iPad speaker, I realized pretty quickly it was missing an entire speaker channel. The Settings/General/Accessibility/Hearing setting is NOT set to mono, and moving the slider to the left causes all the sound to drop out, so the entire left speaker channel is muted. Anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it?

    Hello there Floydmulder,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    You went to the first place I would have by checking the Audio Accessibility options. Next, if you have not already, restart the iPad and try again.
    Restarting your iOS device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    After the device has turned off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    From: iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Then close all the running apps, restart it again, and test the issue.
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    From: iOS: Force an app to close
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    And if the issue persists, I would backup and restore the phone with iTunes. First I would restore the phone as new, and test the issue. If it persists then that rules out software. If it works, then restore from your backup, and test again to see if there is something to do with the backup.

  • My new iPad speaker crackles when listening to some music or games. Is my speaker dying out on me? Can this be fixed?

    When I listen to loud or deep bass music, my new iPad speaker crackles. Is this a common problem with iPads? Can this be fixed? How much is it? My warranty is expired.

    LambChops1,
    I’m using Mavericks, and it’s still possible to select text to drag and for cutting and pasting. Left-clicking and right-clicking is still possible, too.
    Try opening the Trackpad pane of System Preferences, and select the Point & Click tab. To right-click, ensure that your “Secondary click” checkbox has been checked; the small print under “Secondary click” is a dropdown menu which allows you to select the form of right-clicking that you prefer. (For instance, mine is set to “Click in bottom right corner”.) For left-clicking, is your “Tap to click” checkbox checked, or unchecked? (Mine is unchecked, since I prefer pushing for left-clicking over tapping to do so.)

  • IPad speaker

    I just bought my ipad 2 few months ago,
    Then I start to encounter problem with my ipad speaker.
    Sometime when I using virtual keyboard, I could hear a static 'tick' noise from my speaker
    the typing sound really light in the background beside that loud static noise.
    Then I try to play the movie on Internet using my ipad, it sound fine but when I use virtual typing it come back again.
    This happen randomly,but it getting more frequent now.
    I would like to know is there a problem with my ipad should I sent it for repair
    Or it just the apps or system problems?
    Please help while my warranty still valid.
    Thanks a lot.

    2001saturn-
    If your iPad is still within its one year warranty period, look for an Apple Authorized Repair Center.  There may be one in your city.  <Apple Authorized Repair Centers>
    If out of warranty, search for an independent iPad repair center near you.  Thier prices may be lower than at the Apple Authorized centers.

  • Ipod 4th gen volume buttons not working. Volume bar not showing in music or video apps, not a speaker problem as this works fine when testing built in alarm tones???

    Ipod 4th gen volume buttons not working. Volume bar not showing in music or video apps, not a speaker problem as this works fine when testing built in alarm tones???

    Have you tried the standard fixes:
    - Reset:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
    - Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If still problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    You will have to contact the previous owner and ask him/her to remove the iPad from their account, he/she is the only person that can do it : Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account - you won't be able to use the iPad until they do so.

  • IPad IOS6 problems?

    iPad wifi problems with IOS6

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks  http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
    iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
