No volume controls on iPad 2 after Bluetooth unpairing

On an iPad 2 with ios 8.1.2, I can successfully pair and use a Bluetooth headset. Volume controls work on the headset and the iPad 2. No problems. But after unpairing, the volume controls on the iPad 2 are gone or greyed out (depending on the app). The mechanicals buttons do not change the volume level either. I have tried hard reset without success.
One more data point ... if I plug in a wired set of earbuds, the volume controls return. But if I remove the 3.5 mm jack, the volume controls disappear.
This condition started with pairing a set of Bluetooth earbuds. Any suggestions appreciated.
ON EDIT: This doesn't happen on my iPhone 5s with the same Bluetooth earbuds.

Same thing here. Started with iOS8, continues with 8.0.2. Only workaround I've seen is to reboot and/or power off/on.
Sometimes stays connected for hours. Other times No Service after a few minutes.
Since the upgrade to 8 never said it wasn't supported for iPad 2's my expectation is it should work. C'mon Apple.

Volume controls do not work after booting

After installing Lion, my volume controls have seemingly been disabled. If I plug in headphones, the volume controls work again, however, I have to do this everytime. I've searched around for an answer for about two weeks now, but haven't found one that worked. I don't have a red light in my headphone jack and before this issue, I never used headphones.
Also, it seems that the sound at maximum volume is not as loud as it used to be in Snow Lepoard. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any solutions?
Things I've tried:
     Putting headphones in and restarting then removing
     Resetting NVRAM
     Repairing and verifying permissions
     Verifying disk

Keyboard: Lost Volume Controls and CD Eject after (****) RAM upgrade

G5 1.8 MHz tower, OSX 10.4.8: Upgraded RAM, chips kept producing errors, so replaced them with different brand. However, during the error/shutdown/reboot process the apple volume keys and CD eject buttons stopped responding. Replaced keyboard with working spare, rebuilt permissions, tried disconnect and reconnect, changed keyboard for Macally Icekeys and installed software, zapped PRAM, carbon-copy cloned OS to another G5 (1.6 MHz) on which the keyboard worked, and found the error recurred after the new OS was up and running. Recurrs in admin and user boots on both G5's. Therefore must be in OS. Didn't want to do reinstall of OS, so hoped I could find relevant code and review it. Only effects the volume up, down, mute and CD eject keys on apple pro and macally keyboard. Now how's that for bizarre?
Nothing in system prefs seems to permit modification of keyboard, Macally installation didn't fix it. Assume during reboots with faulty (unsuitable) RAM - which was DDR 400 3200U chips, 512Mb, 3.0n/s (not 2.5 - unobtainable here at present) the OS became corrupted. (Hence copying startup drive to other G5 reproduces the error.)
Interestingly software options such as commandE in iTunes and Toast6 work to eject. I think therefore it's a keyboard recognition problem, only for those four keys.
Nobody can say I don't try hard to cause (and resolve) problems.
My FINAL SOLUTION will be to reinstall the OS, and do all the upgrades again, but I thought I'd see if anyone else had any thoughts. Oh, I didn't reset the CUDA switch once I'd decided it was probably software related.
(Classics, SE's, LC's, PPC's) iMac's, eMac's, G3's, G4, G5's, G5 iMacs,Powerbook G3 Mac OS X (10.4.8) Reluctant PC user also (Don't ask)

Further: Finally used Cartbon Copy Cloner to copy boot drive to spare HDD, then reinstalled OSX, copied original files/preferences etc back, and keyboard works, fully functional.
Did have to do all the updates for OSX10.4 iof course. But still no anwer as to why?
A failure to recognise keyboard, corrupt system files.
No thoughts?
No easier solution?

Lion: Anyone having volume control on iMac?

I'm noticing that the volume controls don't work after a while. I repair permissions, restart and it's fine, but after a while when I press the volume buttons, no sound or activation happens. Anyone else having this issue after Lion install?

Thanks for this observation about plugging in head phones; it did work. Although, I have only one attempt to count in these stats. But very worthwhile to note.
I did write on this in another thread where I also speculated about FileVault.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3328016
But maybe there is also interference with Parallels Desktop and how it handles anything on that when a virtual machine is running?
Anyway, before reading this thread, I could only try rebooting, and the disabling would only randomly disappear.
So, thanks again for noting the trick about the head phones

PulseAudio volume control aborts - 'Gtk::IconThemeError'

Hey,
So I get this error when attempting to open the Pulse volume control:
$ pavucontrol
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Gtk::IconThemeError'
Aborted
I am running KDE and I have the Gnome icon theme package installed (which fixed this error in other applications). I use the gtk-qt-engine, too and am currently using QtCurve in both QT and GTK.
Compiling directly from the source doesn't make the error go away, either.
Thanks

I've got kernel 2.6.30 and am using the CA0106 ALSA driver for my Creative SBLive Audigy sound card. I've also got a Logitech wireless headset, but I don't know what driver it's using since when I put in aplay -L all I get for it is "Headset". Pulse audio sees them both and even created a combined module to use both at once, although I've no idea how to actually use it.
The only Pulse app that gives me this error is pavucontrol, yes. Although attempting to open padevchooser gives me this error: ** (padevchooser:20694): WARNING **: pa_browser_new() failed.
But I'll look into that separately.
It was suggested to me that perhaps I file a bug report for pavucontrol....
ETA: I fixed the error relating to padevchooser and it opens now (I needed to have the avahi-daemon started).

You can't downgrade the iOS.
Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

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

IPad2 No Sound (7.0.4) even after Reset, YES I have tried using volume controls!, iPad2 No Sound (7.0.4) even after Reset, YES I have tried using volume controls!

I have an iPad2 that has recently been updated with 7.0.4. After turning off my iPad, I lost all audio from the iPad. Speakers work because when in Setting>Sounds> the ringer options work. YES, I have tried using the volume controls. But now the volume controls only control the ringer options.
I have changed the option under settings for the lock out to mute and back to lock out.
I have reset all setting
I have turned off and on
I have done are hard reset (holding the 2 buttons down).
I have erased everything and started all over reset.
I still have now sound from my iPad. Again the speakers work, when I go to sound under setting and play with the volume of the ringer it plays the sound.
Why is my controls now only for a ringer after the UPDATE. Is my iPad2 a paper weight?

Alright I have made some progress. I used compressed air and then rubbing alcohol to clean contacts. I first powered off the iPad2 and cleaned with air. Then I used the new toothbrush and rubbing alcohol to clean the contacts (really not sure how that works, but I will try anything at this point). Twice the ipad turned on when cleaning contacts.
Outcome I now get sound from typing on the ipad like the typewriter sound. I did not have that before, but still no audio from apps or youtube, or anything else.

My beats studio 2013 work fine on my ipad but the mic/ volume control doesn't work on my iphone 5

My beats studio 2013 work fine on my ipad but the mic/ volume control doesn't work on my iphone 5. Can anyone help me?

Thanks, daniel.early79!
I have an iPhone5 bought in late Dec 2012.
I've noticed on rare occassions that the volume down button some times would not respond.
Starting yesterday, the volume down button would not respond more consistently.
Sometimes a reset would fix it, sometimes a reset network would fix it, but the problem would come back.
Came across this thread, and pressing gently on the upper right hand corner fixed it!
I remember seeing some video on Youtube or iFixit that shows how to replace the power button. It appears that the volume buttons and the power buttons are tied in together on the same piece of connector. I supposed taking the iphone in and out of cases may have warped or twisted the connector inside the case ever so slightly that the sensor for the down volume button got shifted.
The down volume button works now, after doing the trick you suggested. I'll wait and see if it comes back before taking it in for warranty repair.

I do not have volume from my iPad suddenly but I can get it through our Bluetooth device. The lock rotation is not on.

I have suddenly lost the volume from my iPad. It works through the Bluetooth device only. I have turned off the lock rotation in settings.

The Settings > General > Use Side Switch To does not turn rotation lock nor notification mute on or off, all that setting does is say what the switch on the side of the iPad is controlling. What do you have Use Side Switch To set to ? If 'mute' then you need to slide the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume control 'off' (so it doesn't show orange) to unmute ; if you have the side switch set to control 'rotation lock' then you can mute/unmute via Control Centre (swipe up from the bottom edge of the iPad, if the mute is white then sounds are muted, tap it to unmute and the icon should turn grey).
If that doesn't work (and Bluetooth is off) then try a soft-reset.

TS3274 I cannot control the volume on my iPad 2

I cannot control the volume on my iPad 2. It works for about the first 5-10 seconds after start up. After that the volume control does not work and no sound for any apps. Any help?

I have tried both, neither works. As state in my original post, after I restart or reset the iPad the volume control is only available for about 5-10 seconds. After that the sound shuts off and I cannot get the controls to respond. Double clicking the home button and swiping to the right, the volume control slider is not there, and mute is not turned on.

Volume control and video stopped working after recent update

I am having two problems that started at the same time. First, I cannot control the volume. When I hit the volume control buttons the volume display comes up but with a circle with a line through it. I checked the sound in Preferences and it showed no outputs, not even the internal speakers. I do still get the tone at startup but nothing else will play sound. Second, I can't seem to play videos from any online source (i.e. YouTube, Hulu, etc). Any attempts to do so lock up my browsers (both Safari and Firefox). I can play iTunes videos, but there is still no sound. I've only had the computer a couple of months and haven't recently installed anything new on it. My computer did download 3 updates earlier today though I don't remember checking what they were. Any help anyone can give me would be most appreciated.

I did what you suggested and after the apple icon, I get the iTunes icon with a plug in cord.
After plugging in, a box pops up in itunes indicating it has detected an ipad in recovery mode and it says it can not connect with itunes until restored. I have attempted to restore via itune but the next pop up box say "this device is not eligible for the requested build."
When I hit "more information" I am told to update my itunes to the latest which results in my having to download iOS 7.0.4 on my macbook pro.
Am I at a stand still because I won't download 7.0.4 on my macbook pro?

Bluetooth blocks volume control

Hi everybody.
I am having fun with my iMac (late 2011 + 10.7.3) aspecially with software bugs.
One of them is following:
Volume controll keys on my wireless keyboard do not controll sound. Doesn,t matter which one I press I do see the icons on the display but there is no effect on volume level. The sound "speaker icon" on the system bar is inactive and when I press it I see that slider is frozen at the very bottom and can't be moved.
I found the problem is clearly linked to bluetooth. Solution is there although annoying.
Switch your iMac off.
Remove batteries from the wireless keyboard.
Switch your Mac on.
Sound is back, and after placing batteries back in your keyboard you can see also that sound keys are working again. Unfortunatelly you have to make this operation each time when you switching your iMac off.
By the way, Macs were supposed to be so free of bugs. Crap.
Can anybody help me if there is any permanent fix?

Hello:
Try resetting the PRAM and SMC.
