No sound through iPad speaker

I don't seem to get any sound from my iPad speaker when playing a game. I do however get sound when I'm watching a video on youtube.

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music/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

Can I play sound through IPad but watch the video through TV ?

I want to play sound through IPad but watch the video through TV using Apple TV
Is that possible ?

On my mac through itunes, I am able to control Apple TV sound through a master and two sub master volumes.
One being my Apple TV volume (HDTV) , and the other being my mac (internal speakers).
That being said, it might be possible to on iPAD through itunes (music).

Hi Guys,
My iPhone is stuck in a mode where it thinks the headset is still plugged in.
I cant get any sounds through the speaker. Cant hear sms or emails arrive. If the phone rings i hear it but pple cant hear me or i cant hear them.
The phone works fine with the headphones plugged in.
I have tried all the usual solutions, inserted and removed the headset (at least 50 times)
Soft reboot
full restore
Nothing seems to work. I have searched on this and it seems to be a well know issue but there doesnt seem to be any firm solutions that i can find to fix the problem

If no change after inserting and removing the headset at least 50 times, powering the iPhone off and on, an iPhone reset, and restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

New ipad 2 is making clicking sounds through the speaker

Just received my new ipad 2 in the mail. I set up the ipad yesterday, no external noises whatsoever. Went to use it for the first time today, and as soon as I picked it up, and before I could even open the cover, it began to make clicking noises through the speaker .It does this with the cover closed, and when I am not even touching it! ( The cover is the correct cover for the ipad2 w/3G)
It sounds like rapid camera clicks, but I have yet to use the camera. I checked to make sure it was not taking pictures on its own, and it wasnt. I even covered the outside camera lens just in case someone had hijacked the camera remotely from somewhere out in cyberspace!
Thank you so much for your help.
PS It was purchased thorugh the online apple store as a refurb.

NEVER MIND! In the Sounds Settings, I just turned the Lock Sounds switch to off and that solved the problem!

Hi there just wondered if anybody had lost sound through the speaker

Upgraded to I OS5 and lost all sound through the onboard speaker it plays but to sound from it unless I plug it into the headset or into the IPad key board dock (genuine IPad product). Have been in touch with Apple and tried all their suggestions to no avail.Came back with "my IPad must be faulty". If so then why do I get sound through the dock and headset? any ideas any one!! Oh its the IPad one buy the way,many thanks in anticipation Trevor

Did they have you check to see that Settings > Side Switch is set to Lock Rotation and not Mute...and if Mute, then switch it back and forth to make sure you are not on mute?
If not on mute, it might be time for a visit to your friendly Apple Retail store and have the genius bar folks have a look.

IPod only funnels sound through left speaker

my iPod Classic (120 gb) has suddenly stopped funneling sound through both speakers and now only plays through the left speaker, on whatever output i'm using, be it speakers, headphones, whatever. I had a similar problem with the last iPod i had -- a 30gb iPod video -- and my main question i suppose is if this is an easy fix with a simple solution or if my ipod is screwed and its time to get a new one. Thanks preemptively for all of your responses, hopefully i don't have to go too long without hearing both sides of harmonized guitar solos -_-

i would check the headphone 35mm jack for any foreign materials, as they may cause lessened connectivity.

Some apps won't play sound through iPad2 speakers

I've noticed since updating to iOS 5 and 5.0.1, I've got more apps that won't play sound through ipad2 speakers, but will play sound through earphones though. Using the same app on the iphone plays sound through the iphone speakers as normal.
It seems to be picky with which apps it does this to as Sky News/BBCiplayer/YouTube/Video/ IMDb all play sound through ipad speakers. Apps like FilmOn plus/ FreeAppMagic/ Falling Gems/ Bejeweled2/ FNS Shift2 will only play sound through earphones. These Apps updating to the new iOS doesn't fix the sound issue either.
I can use an app that plays sound through iPad speakers, then use an app that doesn't play sound through the speakers, then use another app that does play sound through speakers, so the earphone connection actuator doesn't look like the problem to me. Maybe some sound drivers may have been lost or deleted with new iOS updates over wifi...?
Any help would be appreciated.

See if perhaps this is the reason why some apps aren't playing sound.
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.

How to make the alarm sound through the earbuds?

With both my 5 and my wife's 4S the alarm (using the IOS clock app) sounds through the speaker, even with the earbuds plugged in. We want to use the alarm through the earbuds only. Is this possible?

My alarm works fine on my 4 gb Zen using the latest firmware release. The firmware works the same on all 2/4/8/6/32 GB Zens.
I told you two times that there is something wrong with your 6 GB Zen. Please Contact Creative.
How many other links are you going to reply to and say something is wrong with your Zen
You were told by Creative to also contact them. What is your game
My canned statement: There could be a million things that could go wrong with your Zen player so you will not be the FIRST or LAST to have a problem. Keep in mind, there are many, many others that have a Zen with no problems whatsoever. Things happen, but Creative is there to help. Contact them!
Cheers

TS1630 My iPhone 4 says the headphones are in when they are not. I am not getting any sound from the speaker. Nothing appears to be in the headphone jack. Any ideas anyone?

My iPhone 4S has no sound through the speaker generally, although the speakerphone does work. It is indicating that headphones are in, when they are not. Nothing appears to be in the headphone jack. Resetting the phone has not resolved the problem. any ideas what could be wrong?

This just happened to my brand new iPhone5. I tried turning all the way off and then on AND plugging and unplugging. Only to discover that simply connecting to the charger worked!!!
Very frustrating though!!

I've updated my ipad to iso7 now the sound is distorted through the speaker and headphones, it is unusable! Is anyone else having this problem?

I've updated my ipad to iso7 now the sound is distorted through the speaker and headphones, it is unusable! I wouldn't dare to update my iphone. Is anyone else having this problem? Can't seem to find any fixes online?

A reset should fix it:
Double click the Home button. Slide up with one finger on ALL your apps to close them.
Then, Press the Sleep/Wake button + Home button and hold 15 seconds or until you see the Apple logo.
This will reset your device without erasing data, apps or settings.

No sound through headphones, only from iPad speaker

When I plug my headphones into my iPad, I get no sound, and the music continues to play through the iPad speaker instead. The same headphones work fine with my iPod. Is there a setting I need to change to shut off the music from going through the iPad speaker and send it through my headphones instead?

Is there a solution?

No sound coming through headphones, just iPad speaker????

Howdy JJGO11,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
From what I gather, you have an iPhone 6 that has a low or muffled sound from the EarPods, and the EarPods work fine with another device. The article linked below provides a lot of great information and troubleshooting tips that should help you resolve the issue.

I upgraded my ipad 2 to ios 5.1 and it no longer recognizes or plays through my speaker dock. Help!

I just upgraded my ipad 2 to ios 5.1 and it no longer recognizes or plays through my speaker dock.
I have tried:
- multiple soft and hard resets (including various sequences published on this site... no luck)
- reseting the ipad settings (location, wifi, etc)
- 2 complete system wipe-out and restore cycles
- changing every setting I can think of
I still have normal sound from the device when it is not docked. When docked, my device still charges and it clearly recognizes it is plugged into something (as the volume slider will no longer function with the side keys while docked) but it won't play and eventually it gives me a message that says "accessory not supported by ipad." This speaker dock is designed specifically for ipad (brookstone idesign boombox) and worked flawlessly until 2 days ago when I installed the ios 5.1 update.
Please help!

Not quite the same problem but my speaker dock no longer charges iPad1 and iPhone4 since upgrading to iOS5.1 but was playing and charging only the day before, extremely annoying as I have only had the dock about 3 weeks now.
I haven't tried my iPad3 yet, but will assume that it will do the same

Poor sound quality with 7g Nano through docking speaker.

Very poor sound quality with 7g Nano through docking speaker. Sound through ear bud is fine. A different 7g Nano sounds fine through the same speakers. There does not seem to be debris in the lightning port. Any suggestions?

Hey Failagain,
Thanks for the question. The following article may help you to isolate this issue further. Based on the information you provided, the next best step may be to restore the iPod nano:

Hi All. My iPad 4 just started having issues with the volume. On either Bluetooth or the iPad Speaker, anything I'm watching or listening to drops the sound to just barely hearing it and then, about 2 seconds later, it comes back.

Hi All,
I tried to search through the community, but with the sheer volume of posts, I didn't find anything that seemed like the same issue.
My iPad 4 just started having issues with the volume. On either Bluetooth or the iPad Speaker, anything I'm watching or listening to drops the sound to just barely hearing it and then, about 2 seconds later, it comes back.
I haven't tried wired ear phones, but I am sure they'll be the same way.
It's very random, but consistent enough to happen several times per day.
Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.
I have restarted it and also did a Hard Reboot and it didn't help.
Thanks Again,
Scott P.

Well there you go, when you advertise it just be sure to say that you can't even see the scratches at half brightness and see how it goes.
Of course you are saying you want $500 for one with many scratches on the screen, has been dropped, but the scratches aren't visible at half brightness, and has no warranty. Or I can buy a refurbished iPad 4 WiFi 32 GB directly from Apple with no scratches and a one year warranty for $499. http://store.apple.com/us/product/FD514LL/A/refurbished-ipad-with-retina-display -wi-fi-32gb-white-4th-generation
Why would I buy yours?
I wouldn't pay more than $300 for a used model with your specs in perfect condition. But yours is far from perfect. I think your high point is $250 which is why I said 50%.
