No Sound Effects Control on iPad 2?

Working with a teacher this morning who has no sound effect controls on her iPad2 (iOS 6.1.3). She stated that she has already completed restart and full reset with the same results. I have looked through all volume controls, all settings, etc.
Pecuilar thing is that if I want to test out ringers and sounds, such as default marimba and strum sounds, they work fine, but have no control over their volume as well. Volume controls in Music is also missing.
Pics attached to see screen. Thanks in advance!

1. Double-click the Home button and swipe the Task Bar (at bottom) to the right. Check volume and mute settings.
2. Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo

Hi, I have lost sound of my ipad 2 and also the sound control. Sound control is disappeared from task bask. Button on side are also not working. The ipad is orginal no jailbreak etc. I have tried resetting is totaly using "Erase All Content and Settings" but no difference. Looked on internet for solution but no luck. See the images for settings etc.

What i did was used "Erase All Content and Settings" from setting. After this ipad asked me to setup asking language, location, network etc. Than it asked me "Set Up as New iPad", i selected it and pressed next. (see image at bottom of this post). After all this the situation was same see both images.

I recently installed the latest update 8.3 and since then I am not getting sound effects on my iPad. Why?

I recently installed the 8.3 uplate to my iPad and since then I have not been getting sound effects eg on games and sent emails etc. Why?

Most likely Mute has accidently been turned on via the Control Center or Side Switch.

Help setting up sounds effect page for ipad

Hello,
For the past few years I've maintained a fun webpage (made in DW) that plays sounds on click. I use it to accent certain moments in my class and sometimes I run several sounds at once to create a mood during stories. This year our students are using ipad's and this sound page does not work the same way. It does not play certain sounds, and opens others (wav, mp4 on a separate page) one at a time. Here is a sample line of code that works on Macbooks, but will not play at all on ipads.
Here is the code:
<embed name="CS1345392109055" src="rimshot.mp4" loop="false" autostart="false" hidden="true" width="0" height="0" enablejavascript="true"></embed>
Found on this page: http://gr8writers.com/soundtest2.html
It plays on a laptop, but no sound on an ipad.
This next sound plays, but opens up a separate page - also not what I need to happen:
<embed name="CS1345400314623" src="creepyorgan.mp4" loop="False" autostart="False" hidden="True" width="0" height="0 enablejavascript="true"></embed>
Found on this page: http://gr8writers.com/soundtest2.html
What I need to be able to do is have these sounds play on click without opening a separate window. Thanks if you can help!

IPad 3 Volume Control says Sound Effects and won't adjust

Regardless of the mute button/orientation lock whenever I push up or down on the volume control buttons on the side of the iPad, the Volume indicator that lights up in the center of the screen says "Sound Effects" and there are no bars below it to indicate the actual volume, and it will not change. If I double press the home button, and swipe right to the dimmer/volume/play controls, the volume bar doesn't even show up in its location there. I'm thinking that the kids changed something in one of their games. And turning it off, or even doing the hard reset of pushing the home and off button simultaneously doesn't clear the problem out.

Greetings!
I just now followed the advice above, and solved my problem by using a different charging cable.
Must be lucky that the old charging cable is "dorked", and not the internals of the iPad!
The indication of a bad cable, I guess, is that the sound controls fade out after a few seconds with it connected, but they do not do so with a good cable.
Thank you for the shortcut to happiness, easytiger!
BTW, some folks also say that the problem may be related to using a non-Apple charger or cable; my "bad" cable is non-Apple; the good one is the original (albeit too short) cable that arrived with the iPad.

No sound effects on games or keyboard sound since downloaded 8.1.3 this morning on iPad airanyone any ideas pl ?

no sound effects on games or keyboard click since downloading 8.1.3 this morn. At first no sound on anything then played about in setting and switched off and now no sound effects despite being on full volume. If I reset will I lose my games pl ?

I Think you have system sounds muted. Don't reset anything just yet.
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 control center if you are running iOS 7 or 8. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6, the system sound control is in the task bar at the bottom. Double tap the home button and swipe all the way to the right in the task bar to get to the speaker icon on the left side. Tap on that and the sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

No sound effects on iPad Mini

I am trying to figure out why my sound effects dont work. I have the volume turned all the way up and have selected the Keyboard clicks and lock sound I can choose a ringtone and i hear it but no sound effects not even when i get an email. Any Suggestions?

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via control centre : swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen and it's the right-most of the 5 icons in the middle of it (if the icon is white then it's 'on', tap it to turn it grey and 'off'). The function that isn't on the side switch is set via control centre instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

HT4085 I have the Sound Effect logo keeps appearing on my Ipad in the center of the screen, how do I get it off?

When I turned on my Ipad to use, the sound effects logo appearned in the center of my page, how do I remove it?

Try,
Settings > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > then switch this to Off it is on.
If this is not on, then please go through all the Accesssibility controls and make sure that they are all set to Off. From you description, I would guess that one of them is on.

In Garage Band on iPAD, is there a way to make each key on the keyboard play a different sound effect?

I'd like to be able to play a number of selected sound effects using the keyboard in Garage Band. I've figured out how to import audio tracks from my itunes library into a track in Tracks View.
Thanks if anyone has experience with this......

GarageBand on iPad does not have the SoundEffects instruments, that GarageBand on Mac has.
The closest you can get to this on your iPad will be the "Sampler" instrument. You can record a sound sample and play it using the "Sampler" instrument and adjust the pitch.
But you cannot assigne different samples to different keys.
See: Play sounds with the Sampler

I updated my iPad to iOS7 and since then my iPad2 does not have sound (says no SOUND EFFECT). I already got it checked by Genius Bar who say that it is not a software problem.

Have done all suggested things including toggle and change in settings. Still it keeps showing a bell (which shows sound effects) but does not enable change of sound / sound in apps.
On Saturday, 3rd may2014 I got an appointment with Genius Bar at WEST 14th street NYC which initially said that this looks like settings issue. So they reset my iPad settings.
When this did not work, they also reloaded the iOS. Even that did not solve the problem. They conveyed that this is a hardware problem and thus they can solve this (except for replacement for which they will charge $250 for an iPad 2.)
However the ringer sound is coming perfect ( the sound is not available in any of the apps but the same speaker works for ringer).
HOW IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE A HARDWARE PROBLEM THEN? ALSO WHY CAN APPLE NOT CHANGE THE SPEAKERS?
When I conveyed that this is APPLE specific issue, they flatly denied and conveyed that there are NO such cases. When I offered to show it on Aple community, they say THIS HAPPENS TO ONLY A SMALL MINORITY AND IS NOT CONSIDERED A "KNOWN ISSUE".
I HAD GONE AT THE SAME TIME FOR CHANGING MY IPHONE's speaker (for that too, they said that they can only replace my phone with a hefty payment rather than changing the speakers).
THIS AMPLY SHOWED THAT THEY HAD NO INTENTION OF SERVICING THE INSTRUMENTS AND THEY WERE ONLY THINKING OF HOW TO INCREASE SALES BY DRAWING ON THE OLD INVENTORY.
SHOWS RIDICULOUS ATTITUDE OF APPLE.

After I upgraded to Mavericks I was also having this message when I tried to update. There was a previous post about this problem which offered this simple solution which worked for me:

Got it! Thanx. What I did was go to my account, check that they had my new ID and Password which they did, then hit reset button. All fixed.

My iPad is muted and I don't have any "sound effect" volume and my iPad is completely muted. Why?

Not sure what to do.. I tried going to the general settings tab and changed my lock setting to mute so I can control the volume from the side switch and still there are no volume bars appear when I try to change the volume. What am I missing? And what does "sound effect" mean?

Let's go back to basic.
1. Settings>General>Use Side-Switch To>Lock Rotation
2. Double-click the Home button and swipe Task Bar to the right.
3. Make sure the button on the far left of Task Bar is not muted

Tried reset, taking off case, no Bluetooth but sound effects keeps appearing in middle of screen. If I turn down volume it goes away but then comes back. Sometimes immediately. Sometimes in 5 minutes. Am not touching anything on side of iPad at the time

Cannot get sound effects icon to stop coming on. When I turn down the volume, the icon goes off briefly and then it comes back on at full volume and stays in the middle of the screen, until I click the volume down again. Doesn't help to reset, the case is not on and it still does this. Most annoying.

Tried any basic troubleshooting steps?
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 - let go of the buttons.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.

For best sound quality should volume be controlled from iPad or BlueTooth speaker?

For best sound quality when listening to music, should the volume be controlled from iPad or from a connected Bluetooth speaker?

For good sound quality, flat response is the most important thing. Take a look at qloud, http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34412, and find yourself a very good microphone.
Then you will probably want to set a global equalizer for your machine. You can try with alsa, http://krustev.net/w/articles/Global_eq … _for_ALSA/.
If ALSA isn't finegrained enough, jack has a lot more flexibility, except for the fact that it doesn't allow you to set default output device, so you will need a helper application to redirect all output connections to your equalizer.
Well, i would say this is quite subjective. Untouched signal is superior to any equalized sound in my opinion, but i know this debate is never satisfying

IPad iMovie playing unwanted sound effects

I have a movie on the iPad that plays the phone ringing sound effect. I have not put that sound effect in the movie. What is up?

The "yellow caution badge" that Peter refers to indicates that iMovie can't locate the clip, whether it be video or audio. The "badge" is in the shape of a yellow triangle enclosing an exclamation mark - see this picture:
One tip that may help is to delete iMovie's preference file. That file can become corrupted under certain circumstances, such as when iMovie quits unexpectedly or is Force Quit.
The file is located in your User (Home) folder Library/Preferences and, for iMovie '11, is named "com.apple.iMovieApp.plist".
Close iMovie, then drag the .plist file to the Trash. When opened, iMovie will create a fresh .plist file with the default settings, which you can change if desired in iMovie's menu item iMovie>Preferences.
Deleting the file will not harm your existing Events or Projects, but may fix iMovie's abnormal behaviour.
NOTE: I have seen similar behaviour myself, as you and Peter describe (but not as serious - it was on a test project). My fix was to check each and every audio track and switch Ducking OFF and ON (or ON and OFF depending on its setting). The disappearing audio suddenly re-appeared on the problem track. But it may have been coincidental, as I was playing around generally - perhaps something else I did triggered it.
