Lack of sound on Ipad

Audio on IPad is not working.  Any ideas what might be wrong.  Yes, I have the volume turned on!

There could be 3 different situations for not having sound.
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.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

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.

  • Sound on ipad and iphone

    Since updating to os7.1.1 i lost my safari sound on ipad and iphone

    Hi pr1uk,
    It appears your devices are experiencing audio issues. The following article provides steps which may help you find a solution:
    If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support
    Follow these steps and test the sound after each one.
    Go to Settings > Sounds and drag the Ringer And Alerts slider to turn the volume up.
    If you can hear sound from the speaker, then the speaker works. Continue with these steps to find the setting or switch that's affecting the sound. If you can't hear sound from the speaker, contact Apple Support.
    Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is set to ring. If you can see orange, it's set to silent.
    Restart your device.
    Open an app that has music or sound effects. Adjust the volume with the volume buttons or the slider in Control Center.
    Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn off Bluetooth.
    If there's still no sound, connect a headset. If you can hear sound through the headset, remove it and clear any dust or debris from the headset jack of your device.
    If the device is in a case, make sure that the case doesn't block the speaker.
    Use a brush to gently clear any debris from the speaker and Lightning connector (or 30-pin dock connector). The brush should be clean and dry and have soft bristles.
    Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
    If you followed these steps and still hear no sound or distorted sound, contact Apple Support.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • I used to able to access and listen to my itunes library from my ipad using the remote app but this no longer works.  I am connected but sound thru ipad.  Is this because of they want us to use itunes match

    I used to able to access and listen to my itunes library on my ipad  using the remote app but this no longer works.  I am connected but sound thru ipad- just controls my library on iMac.  Is this because of they want us to use itunes match

    That has nothing to do with iTunes match. The Remote app on iPad can control the computer's iTunes but not play content from iTunes on your iPad.
    To play for example iTunes imusic on iPad
    You need to have Home Sharing On.
    Check Settings > Music > Home Sharing (key in your Apple ID & password here, must be the same on computer's iTunes)
    Start iPad's Music app, tap the ... More (bottom right), tap Shared.
    Choose your iTunes' library and have fun.

  • Sound on iPad is not working and I've tried all

    sound on iPad is not working and I've tried all.. Someone HELP me

    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.)
    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.

  • HT4085 No sound on IPad

    Notice no sound on IPad. All the buttons are in the correct on positions and nothing is muted . I am getting no sounds while typing or using aps.

    After reading other forum messages , I noticed all my settings were correct and still no sounds.  Powering on and off one last time helped and the sound fixed itself!

  • Intermittant sound on iPad

    Ihaving intermittant sound on iPad. I have done numerous soft &hard resets, checked all settings (nothing to do with side switch) sound present with earphones and works when checking ring tone but when playing music keeps cutting out & slide volume bar disappears also??  It affects the keyboard clicks as well.

    Looks like an internal fault with the auto card. I would suggest taking your iPad to a local Apple store for further diagnostics.

  • HT4085 Temple Run2 app has disabled sounds on iPad, has anyone had this happen?  If so, how was it restored?

    I muted sound on iPad while playing Temple Run2 app and was not able to restore sound later.  I have sound turned all the way up on the iPad and in the app but sound will not play.  Other notification sounds were also affected but not all sounds.  Has this happened to others?  If so, how was it restored?  Thanks.

    Try a reset:
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

  • Computers sound on iPad with Remote Desktop but muted on laptop.

    I'm currently using iTeleport for a remote desktop app (but looking for something better). Anyway, I would like to hear the laptop sound (core audio output) on the iPad - but here's the catch - I want the laptop speakers muted. Is this possible? Can I have the laptops sound output over the iPad while the laptops speakers are muted (and not have the mute follow to the iPad)?

    Its just simple...enable UPnP forwarding on the router.

  • No sound on iPad mini after iOS 8 update

    After updating my iPad mini to iOS 8 I found I couldn't hear any sounds.  It is not muted, all sounds are up, and even tried with headphones.  Can't hear music, games, keyboard clicks, nothing.  I also updated my iPhone5 and the sound is fine there.  Anyone else have this problem or know a solution? 
    And yes I checked the physical volume/mute buttons on the side as well as in the settings/sound menu. 

    Amagno
    u r probably using the wrong button, is not volume. I hope you have an iPad with the slider.
    but, in any case, try yo replicate the environment for the solution, and, if you DO NOT have the 'rotation lock" slider as "rotation lock" and directly in "sound off" go back one step and put it in "rotation lock" … try to use volume button, that it will not work and then do as below ...
    I solved this on my ipad mini retina by setting the 'rotation lock' slider to 'sound off':
    - Go to Setting->General
    - Change from rotation lock to sound off.
    - Wiggle the slider: sound will return
    - Now you can set the slider back to rotation lock again
