My ipad2 doesn't play sound on most games and apps, what did i do?

I have no sound on most games and apps. But I have sound on pandora and a few others. What's going on here?

Here's what happened to me, and how I resolved it. In my settings, (Settings->General), I had "Use the Slide Switch to:" set to the default, "Mute." I had the slide switch in the mute position when I went into settings and changed the control for the slide switch to "Lock Rotation." This caused the slide switch control to change to rotation locking, but it left the volume control in the muted state.
This is where King_Penguin's response comes in: if the slide switch controls rotation locking, you have to use the home button to get to the mute setting. Double-tap the home button to reveal the application switcher bar at the bottom of the iPad. Then swipe from left to right in that bar to reveal the audio controls. The icon on the far left will be of a speaker. If it has a slash through it, audio is muted. Simply tap the icon to toggle it to a non-muted state. Also, you can verify that the volume level itself is not all the way to the lowest setting. The volume slider is on the right side, next to the Music icon.

  • E66 Sound delayed in games and apps

    I noticed that when i am playing games the sound is delay by just 0.5 to 1 second which is very annoying. It is delayed in any kind of game or application. My software version is 102.07.81. Do you know how can I fix this problem?

    DUH.... nevermind.  As soon as I posted, I saw a post in "More like this" that helped my find the problem: Mute switch was in the "on" position.

    My ipad2 doesn't play the games in ceebeebies website

    The games are most likely flash-based, and flash is not supported on the iPad. Have you checked to see if any of the games have their own apps in the iTunes app store ?
    Also the Photon Browser says :
    Photon Browser allows you to play Flash games such as free Facebook games, use Flash apps, listen to music streamed via Flash player and watch Flash video.
    As its reviews are mixed it probably doesn't work on all sites

  • My iphone 4s doesn't play sound out loud but the ringtone works....

    Hello,
    Thanks in advance for any advice / help you can give me.
    My iphone 4s doesn't play sound out loud, but my ringtone works. Music & videos also play with the headphones in, but if I want to watch a video or listen to music without headphones it will not make a sound, even though these things display they are playing on the screen.... does anyone have any ideas.
    I have rebooted etc but that hasn't worked
    Thanks

    Have you looked at the Ring/Silent switch on the side of the device?  It may have been moved to the Silent position.

  • My ipad is no longer playing sounds on some games

    My ipad is not playing sounds for most of my games but for apps like netflix it does. i have checked settings and vol is all the way up. i also noticed that when i slide the bar to unlock after it goes into rest mode i don't hear the clicking sound anymore. anyone have anything like this happen? i tried shutting it down and started it back up its still not working

    You have system sounds muted.
    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.

  • Hi, my brand new iphone 4 will not play music through my music app but it will play videos through youtube and will play the sounds throught my games and will play text tones and facetime ect. what is wrong?

    hi, my brand new iphone 4 will not play music through my music app but it will play videos through youtube and will play the sounds throught my games and will play text tones and facetime ect. what is wrong?

    At least I'm not the only one with the issue. I was looking it up so see if others had the same problem and found a bunch of posts about it. I'm assuming it's not the phone then, it's the software. Should I bring it to the Apple Store? Replacing the phone seems stupid, because the phone isn't really the problem. It's the software! Maybe the iOS 5.0.2 will fix it???  I don't really want to wait though, it's a pain. If a lot of people have this issue it should get Apple's attention. They need to do something to fix it, ASAP!

  • A520 Speaker is only playing sound on the subwoofer and 2 other speakers

    My A520 Speaker is only playing sound on the subwoofer and 2 other speakers i tried every thing I could, but cant seem to find the problem (win 8.1)

    I checked on Creative's support site and search for A520 and this is what I found http://support.creative.com/kb/ShowA...aspx?sid=64705
    I think because your source is stereo that's why you are only hearing sound from 2 speakers and the subwoofer. You will need to enable virtual surround in your sound card to be able to get all the speakers playing I think.
    You can do a speaker test by going to sound, playback devices and click on configure to test the channels in Windows.

  • I dont get sound for videos, games and music but ringtone still works. When i press volume buttons on side of phone i only get the picture of the nell and no little dots underneath. This is on my iphone 4s and ipad. It happened at the same time.

    Recurring theme with the 4s losing alerts except for the phone ringing.  Most complaints seem to center on the 7.1 upgrade.  The fix is dodgy, putting in a charger, playing a you tube video then pulling out the charger and wiggling it until you get the sound back.  When you get the sound back, the volume buttons start to work again.  Alternate solutions involve cleaning the docking port with a toothbrush, running a pick over the electrodes etc.

  • I've updated my iphone and then the sound is cut off and sms what should i do ?

    i've updated my iphone and then the sound is cut off and sms what should i do ?

    You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • My repaired itouch doesn't play sounds

  • 5G iPod doesn't play sound

    I have a 5G 30GB iPod that just today stopped playing and sound. It still lets you scroll through the menus and also shows its playing a song, but you cannot hear anything. It won't play sound through the headphone jack, and I also have an Alpine CD Player with the iPod direct connect cable, and that does not work as well. I reset the iPod today and that did not do anything, and I also tried restoring it and that did not fix the problem as well. I contacted Apple support and found out it would cost $130 to fix my iPod, but the lady I talked to could not tell me what is exactly wrong with the iPod because she had never heard of this problem before. I'm basically looking to hopefully fix it myself since I dont want to shell out $130 to repair it, but probably will give in if I cannot fix this myself.

    mine does the same thing...i got it replaced once under warranty and they gave me a "new" one which began to malfunction 3 months after i got it :\ It plays the music all staticy and when i took it in they told me nothing was wrong with it...but it doesn't play and ive changed the head phones and reset it and run all the diagnostic tests...needless to say im very dissappointed with apple right now! what makes it worse is when i took it in the ipod wasn't even registered to me which means they gave me someone else's ipod which had been replaced! but since it was out of warranty when i found out it was 140 to get a new one if they found something wrong with it. so idk but this is my 2nd 5G ipod and i think its a bug that is in all of them.

  • After Effects CS6 doesn't play sound of MTS file when imported to ae.

    When I record a file on my canon hfr10 camcorder and imports to my windows computer, it plays sound when played when open with windows media player. But when i import to After Effects, it doesn't have the audio thingy near the "lock layer" button. It doesnt play audio.

    The audio is probably on the wrong tracks because your recording settings were set to channel 3&4, not 1&2. AE still only does stereo and simply doesn't see extra tracks. no chance. you need to extract the audio in an external program and import it as a separate file. Premiere should be able to handle this, but feel free to use otehr tools.

  • MiniDP port doesn't play sound via HDMI

    I have connected it from the computer to the HD tv, and the video works. But the sound will not transfer, The sound preferences doesn't show any outputs but the internal speakers, and I checked the MIDI setup Utility, and it also did not show it as an option.

    Hi, guidino. I have a late-2008 unibody MBP like yours, and I don't expect Apple will ever enable our mini-Displayports to output audio signals. But there are adapters that will combine audio and video signals from our machines into a single HDMI cable and resolve the problem you describe in your post. Here are three:
    This one draws 5.1-channel optical digital audio from the headphone port and power from a USB port:

    This one draws 2-channel stereo audio from a USB port:
    http://kanexlive.com/products/item-id-3323.html
    This is similar to the first one linked above, but less expensive:

    I don't know where you are located, but you should be able to find these adapters or similar ones somewhere near you, or at an online vendor who ships to your country.

  • My BlackBerry doesn't play sounds?

    Hi, i've had my BlackBerry Curve 8520 for a while, and i've had no problems with it until today. I would change my sound profile to 'Normal' and it wouldn't play the sound whenever I got a message. I went into Edit Profiles > Normal > Messages > SMS > and I would go all the way to the bottom and press Try It, but the sound wouldn't play. Please help me! Thanks !
    Solved!

    Hello,
    I think you can try two things : the soft reboot, and if it does not work, the hard reboot. Don't worry, you can't lose data with these two reboots.
    Soft reboot :
    1) Hit the three following keys at the same time :
    - Alt
    - Right Shift
    - Delete
    2) wait 2 minutes for the Blackberry to wake up.
    Hard reboot :
    1) your Blackberry device is on
    2) remove the battery and wait for a minute
    3) Put the battery back
    4) wait 5 minutes for the device to wake up.
    Please tell us if it works for you.
