Loss of sound in games apps

First let me say that I am an Apple/iPad newbie.
Without making any settings changes, all of a sudden I have lost all sound in my games apps. At first it was just partial sound that was lost, but now it's everything.
Read through some other discussions re: this issue, and checked the switch next to the volume button. Shows that sound is not muted.
I have a 4th gen iPad with iOS 6.1.3. This machine is only 2 months old so I am a bit disappointed since I was glad to be off Windows and its quirks. Please tell me there is an easy fix.
Thanks.

This may come in handy.

  • I have an iPad 2 and all of a sudden I have no sound in game apps. I have usual volume in videos and YouTube, I do get volume for games if I plug in headphones. I have switched to screen lock off and on again and I have also done a reset twice.....help :)

    I have an ipad2 and all of a sudden I have stopped getting sound in my game apps. I get normal sound on YouTube and I player and downloaded DVDs. If I plug headphones in then I can get sounds for the games. I have switched the lock screen button off and on again and done a reset twice, can anyone help me with this?

    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.

  • Sounds on game apps

    hi all! i'm new to all this, but yesterday the sounds on my game apps worked. unfortunately as i was out most of the day the battery died. after charging up i have found that the sounds on my games have ceased to work. howver my radio, ipod and all other apps do have sounds.. the ringer works fine.. its not the volume as i tried that.
    Any ideas as to how to recover the sounds?

    Had the same problem. The solution is that the "ringer switch", located on the side of the phone just above the volume controls, was turned off. I have never touched this switch as far as I know; apparently this is a problem when you update to IOS 4. See full solution here:

  • Loss of sound in some apps after iOS 5 update....

    ABC Player works fine, trailers app has no sound neither does where's my water game? Have verified it's not the mute/orientation switch on the side! Anybody else had tis issue and if so is there a fix?

    I'm also experiencing this problem on my iPad2.  Music and sound effects otherwise work in other apps, but no sound plays in the Where's My Water app after the iOS5 install.

  • TS1702 i have no sound on game apps what should i do to get it back?

    while playing a game a pop up said no sound with a X and a circle around it. After that i had no sound on my tap apps???

    I'm not sure about the message that you got in that app, but read 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.

  • Sound quit on my game apps

    I cannot hear the sound when I play my game apps.  The side volume button is all way up and the sound bar on the sound scale (when tapping the home button twicw) is in the middle.  What could be the cause?  I have the new iPad.

  • TS3274 Can not get my sound to work on games apps

    Can anyone help. Cannot get any sound on my games apps, I think my son has had his hands on it again. It has happened once before but I can not remember how to switch it back on.
    PLEASE HELP
    THANKYOU

    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.

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.

    You have your mute button on.  In Settings check to see if you have Lock Orientation checked or Mute checked on the right hand side.  If you have Mute checked, all you need to do is click the mute button above the volume control buttons on the upper right hand side of your iPad.  If you have Lock Orientation checked in settings, you double click your home button and the most recent apps will appear.  Swipe your finger to the right until the Mute icon appears on the left side.  Touch it and you will unmute system sounds.

  • The sound on all my game apps is gone.  What can I do?

    The sound or my game apps is suddenly gone. It seems to be working on other apps. It is not working for my keyboard either. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Someone said to make sure the side button is set to rotation and not mute in settings. I did and it was on mute. Don't know how this changed, but I was glad to fix it!

  • The sound on all of my game apps and my alerts has stopped working. Still works for Netflix, Hulu, YouTube... Anything video related. Anyone else have this problem or know what I should do to fix it?

  • I have an iPhone 3GS and there is no sound at all on my game Apps

    I'm having trouble trying to get sound on my game apps, the volume on the phone is fine but the game apps have no sound and I cant hear alerts etc.
    Can anyone advise me on what I can do to restore the sound. The Apps only have sound through my earphones.

    Try switching the Ring / Slient switch on the side of the iPhone.
    Some games will go into silent mode when you toggle that switch.

  • TS1702 I lost all sound in my game apps why?

    I lost all sound on all my game apps why?

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    IDT Audio Installer - Windows 7.
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
    When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold  down the Power button for 30 seconds.  Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
    Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.  Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
    Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete.  Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices.  Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.

    Sound quit working with my game apps and email.

  • No sound today. Maybe because I turned the sound off on a free game app but now don't know which one and probably deleted the app.

    It's pamonvashon again (the person who posted the question).  I fixed it so I'll tell you how in case it happens to you.  I was correct.  I went back and re downloaded the game,  "Virble".  At the beginning of the game o I used the buttons on the side of the phone to turn the sound off and on and the sound came on!  A miracle!  So beware of VIRBLE!!!
