No sound on some apps?

I was reading that quite a few people are having problems with some apps being muted even when the volumes on. Well i had the same problem for quite a while and it was linked to my mute switch! i found that when It's set to lock the screen rotation some apps are automatically muted (i.e. "scene it: movies 2" and all my push notifications) I dont know why but all the apps that where installed or updated after i selected the lock rotation setting for the switch the apps where muted. After setting it back to mute/unmute and switchign it back and forth... everything magically worked without any more problems. i hope it doesnt do it again because i would rather have it set to lock the screen then the mute.. but atleast i can share how the problem was fixed for me

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod 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, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

No sound on some apps - notably TED, on iPad 1

Seems this is a recent occurance. I have been watching/listening to TED for awhile - added Fanahatten recently and got no sound when trying to run trailers. I am louth to pay for a movie and then find I have the same problem. Checked back with TED - no sound. Checked videos, movies news clips - all OK on sound.

If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds 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.

If for some reason the explanation above did not work - try the basic things next.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
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.

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 control center if you are running iOS 7 ot iOS 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 have an iPad Air 2, you control system sounds and the rotation lock in the control center, since the device has no side switch.
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.

3. Try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. No data will be lost but you will have to enter all of the device settings again.
4. If you still have no sound, try cleaning the dock connector opening of the iPad with a soft brush and just a little bit of rubbing alcohol.

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.

No sound from some apps

Itunes works fine as does Ferrari FGT lite through the speakers.
However, my Ibone and Piano lite apps stopped playing through the speaker.
It happened once before and my friend somehow got it working, he had no idea how!
Anyway, it's happened again, any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike

In some apps I don't get any sound!

Since the 4.2 update i can't get any sound in some apps. There isn't even any volume available. I get the AirPlay button but I can not change the source.
Any tips?

Is the notification mute switch (the old rotation lock) 'on' ? Rotation lock is now a software function on the taskbar in 4.2 and the button now mutes notifications e.g. so that you can watch videos or listen to music without hearing email notifications etc.
Rotation lock : double-click the home button, slide from the left, and its the button far right; press home again to exit the taskbar; repeat to switch off rotation lock.

No sound or volume control in some apps

Hi,
Recently (last fews days) I have noticed that sound is not working in some apps. Also the volume up/down buttons do not seem to work in these apps either - the onscreen volume level widget does not appear.
The issue is usually video related content such as the sky news app.
Not an issue system wide as the native video app works. so does air video.
I have restarted the ipad. also tried updating to latest firmware yesterday but issue persists.
any assistance appreciated.

Garageband is not picking sound from builtin mic (rMBP). I recorded some tracks, now it is not working. All other apps can use the mic. Monitoring is switched ON at GB, it picks sound only some other app, eg. Skype, is used to access the mic.

Garageband is not picking sound from builtin mic (rMBP).
I recorded some tracks, now it is not working. I have checked GB Preferences, Audio/MIDI > Audio Input > Built In Microphone.
All other apps can use the mic. Dictation, Skype etc. can use the mic!
Monitoring is switched ON at GB, it picks sound only some other app, eg. Skype, is used to access the mic.
Can any one help me, Please!
Many thanks!

I have foud the solution - rather stupid. The system setting for audio input was at 70%, increasing it to 100% solves the problem!

My IPhone 4s ringer, text, and some apps won't sound

Here's the details.
I have an IPhone 4s, and I use Pinger EX, a VoIP app. My ringer, my text sound, Facebook notification sound, and some but not all app notification sounds are silent. I don't recall making any setting changes before this happened. I have tried restarting my phone, resetting the settings, uninstalling and reinstalling the Pinger app. No, my toggle switch isn't on mute. The "Do Not Disturb" option is off. I have gone through every setting I can find and can't for the life of me find the problem. I have it set to vibrate on ring so that it at least will vibrate to notify me. Again, it's not on silent. I can go into settings and test, and hear, the ringtone. For the text tone and others, I can only get it to vibrate.
Is this some strange and secret sticky key that I'm unaware of?

IT IS SOLVED!!!!!!
i open twitter, and drag down for update, and suddenly the voice is came out from the speacker!!!
now it is normal.
when i try to figure out what happen, i remeber that i was on twitter and i make a call, after that i discover the problem..
hope that you could solve the issue, try twitter and see if it is work for you also

How come some apps won't play sound on a USB device but only on the internal speaker while others can?

How come some apps won't play sound on a USB device but only on the internal speaker while others can? Mac OS 10.8.5

You can simply set your system preferences
Sound preference
output - to whatever your USB device/audio interface is
Your question seems a bit vague to me though. So can you actually inform us of what it is you are trying to do and give us examples with named kit.

Some apps give just sound and no view

I just installed my apple tv, with the ipad i am able to look and hear ie. youtube and videos (synced to my ipad)on my television. However some apps give only sound and no view. Why is this, and is this going to Be supported by apple? Or should i configue something?

it is up the app developer to include support for video airplay.
apple provide the possibility to do it, the ball is in the app developers court to support it.

My sound only works through the ear phones with some apps....

With some apps (Games and books) I can only get sound on my IPAD 2 though the earphones...this just recently occured. With movies the sound goes through the speakers just fine. Is there some adjustment I can make so I can hear the games without using the ear phones?

Make sure that you haven't got notifications muted (which will affect most games, but not iPod or Videos apps, nor earphones). Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to, notifications can either be muted by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar (the function that the switch isn't performing is on the task bar instead) : double-click the home button to bring up the task bar, slide the bar to the right, and it's the icon far left. There is more info about the switch and the task bar and the mute/rotation lock functions here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
