Sound on iPad2 suddenly stops working

From one day to an other there is no sound output from the external speakers. I can't change the volume with the buttons, it shows the bar on screen but nothing happens. If I go to the settings and play around with the ringtone volume the speakers work fine. But there is still no sound when I'm running videos, music, apps, lock or unlock the device. Reboot, recover, hard reset and any other trys to make it work failed.
With headphones it's still working. Already checked the headphone input for any debris, negative.
Any ideas? Sorry for my bad english ;)

It seems like you might have an issue with the headphone jack. Have you tried inserting and removing the headphones a few times in succession to see if you can maybe reset whatever is causing the issue inside the device. It almost seems like something is not making contact the way that it should and when you remove the headphones the iPad still thinks that the headphones are still inserted into the device.
That is my completely unscientific explanation - but it does seem to be related to the iPad thinking that the headphone jack is still inside the iPad. Does that make sense to you?

Hi!! To add more to the issue, the other day, my airport card is nowhere to be found. It now says no airport card installed which is really crazy. I also noticed that my MBP freezes during start up and I had to zap the PRAM so it would open up. Anyone there who experienced the same thing? I'd really appreciate your suggestions. Thanks!

Sounds suddenly stop working

Certain sounds on my iPhone (text alerts, text sent sound, etc) will suddenly stop working. I will get notification of an incoming text with a sound all day long and then out of the blue there will be no sound to accompany the alerts anymore. When I send a text, I always hear a sound when it sends the text...but just like the alerts, the sound for that will suddenly quit too.
Yes, I've checked the loud/silent switch. I've checked the volume. The only thing that seems to fix this issue is powering off and back on.
I don't use headphones (I've seen this can sometimes cause the silent mode to get stuck) so that isn't the problem. I thought maybe it had something to do with the bluetooth connection in my car but the sound will quit sometimes when the bluetooth is off and I'm nowhere near my car.
I had this issue with my iPhone 4s and just put up with it until I got the new iPhone 6, figuring I wouldn't have the issue anymore with a new phone. My iPhone 6 is still doing this so I'm guessing there is some crazy, hidden setting somewhere I'm not aware of, or there is something wonky in the iOS.
This is incredibly frustrating as I have not known about an urgent message because the phone didn't make any alert sound to let me know I received a message.

Was wondering if you had found a solution for this? I went to the Genius Bar 3 seperate times to get this exact issue resolved. First they reset my phone as a new phone, then they replaced my speaker, and finally they replaced my phone. Still, with a brand new phone, it is happening. I have iphones for a long time and do not believe I am doing anything differently. Have you found something that worked for you? Thanks!

Sound suddenly stopped working.

Hi, my sound on my HP ENVY 15 Notebook PC just suddenly stopped working the other day. Everything says that it is functioning, and my drivers are up to date, but I cannot seem to get the sound to work out of my speakers or out of headphones.
Product Number: A9P60UA#ABA
Running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
If you could help, that would be wonderful! Thanks!

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp56501-57000/sp56900.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete,download and reinstall the Chipset driver on the link below.
Chipset Driver - Windows 7.
When this has completed, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then hold down the Power and Beats buttons for 10 seconds. When done, reconnect the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.

DP-K

New mail sound suddenly stopped working

I assigned a 'new mail sound' (wav file) and for no apparent reason suddenly stopped working. Anyone else experienced this ?

This sometimes happens to me too, as well as my alerts with iChat. I have to restart the computer and that fixes it for me. Hope that is the case with you as well.

The sound on my ipad 3 suddenly stopped working i dont know why i tried the last two days to fix it and also restored it and the sound never came back, please help.....

the sound on my ipad 3 suddenly stopped working i dont know why i tried the last two days to fix it and also restored it and the sound never came back, please help.....

Do you get sound on any apps e.g. Music and Videos but not others ? If you do then 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, 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

My sound suddenly stopped working, how do i fix this?

my sound suddenly stopped working after i unplugged my headphones, how do i fix this?

Common problem.
Check the headphone port - if you can see a red light, the port is still live, cutting off the internal speakers.
The cause is a little leaf switch that is pushed over by the jack when you insert it. Sometimes these stick.
Try inserting and removing a jack a few (dozen) times.
If that doesn't free it you may attempt to tease it with a slim non-conducting tool (like a toothpick). Ensure the Mac is not only shut down, but unplugged if you try this.
And be careful; the leaf is fragile and it's an expensive bit to get to and replace, in fact on some models it's directly on the logic board.

Sound suddenly stops working (Youtube)

Hi!
Since I installed a Flash Player update 1-2 months ago, the sound in almost half of the videos I watch on Youtube suddenly stops working (usually only in videos that are longer than 10 minutes). First there's a short crackling sound (not all the time, though) and then the sound simply stops, even though the video is still playing. Reloading the page or jumping ahead a few minutes, then going back to the original spot usually only fixes it for less than 5 minutes and if I do that 2 or 3 times, the sound won't even be there for more than a few seconds. Restarting Firefox doesn't help, either. If I want to try again with the same video a few days later, the problem occurs again.
I'm using headphones (Sennheiser HD 201) that are plugged into speakers (Logitech X-140) but I'm 100% sure that those aren't the culprits since I can listen to mp3s, watch videos (avi, mp4, doesn't matter) or play games just fine and the problem has never ever occured while doing that. So it definately has something to do with the update 1-2 months ago and the latest update (maybe a week ago) didn't fix it. I also already saw a few comments on videos I'm experiencing the problem with about the sound suddenly stopping.
OS: Windows 7 (64 bit)
Browser: Firefox (36.0.4) - also tried loading the video in IE11 but all the buttons (quaility settings,...) were missing, so I closed it again.
Flash Player: 17.0.0.134
Any idea how I can fix the problem and if there's already a fix in the works?

Most of the videos on YouTube these days are HTML5. If you right-click on the problem video, are you getting About Flash Player, or About HTML5?
If it *is* Flash, do you have the same problem if you disable Hardware Acceleration? See the section on it in the troubleshooting guide below:

my mac pro suddenly stops working (2011), connection to the monitor stops, but de tiny light on computer still on and all sound stops. what's the problem?

When the display turns off, it is not clear whether the computer has halted, or whether the display subsystem has failed.
Those tests determine whether:
a) Your Mac software had stopped working OR
b) Only the display had stopped working
If the pressing the Caps lock light on the keyboard lights the Caps Lock light on the keyboard, some software is still running -- your Mac has not halted.
If pressing Control-Eject on the keyboard, followed by the Return key shuts down your Mac, the software was still running.
¿Software was still running?
--Yes, the problem is ONLY in the display subsystem
--No, this is a computer-wide problem such as a kernel panic

Firefox 3.5.25 suddenly stopped working, have old computer this is as high as I can go

I have a mac powerbook about 5 years old. The only version of FF I can use is 3.6.25 and have been using it all along. 3 days ago it suddenly stopped working. I lost my igoogle page. Icannot sign in as the button does not work. When I try to search nothing happens. I reinstalled it 3 times, still nothing. Works fine on my ipad2.

It's tricky to try to troubleshoot this one as 3.5 isn't really supported anymore. However, as you reinstall Firefox, all your settings are actually still kept in your Profile folder, so if it's related to your settings, reinstalling won't fix the problem.
What you could try is creating a new profile and see if that solves it -- note however that this will be like installing a second copy of Firefox and you will not have access to any of your bookmarks, passwords, etc. It is basically like starting from scratch (though your information is still kept in the original profile -- they can both coexist).
This article covers the procedure of creating a new, second profile: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles?s=profile&r=0&e=sph&as=s

My right speaker suddenly stopped working

My right speaker suddenly stopped working. Does anybody know what could have happened or how I can fix it? Thanks!

Just to make certain that it's not an OS setting, check in your System Preferences>Sound and make sure that your balance is set in the middle:
If it is, and you're still having problems, you could also try resetting the SMC and the PRAM/NVRAM. If that doesn't help, it's likely a hardware problem that will have to be addressed by a trip to your local Apple Store or an AASP.

ISight suddenly stopped working

My iSight suddenly stopped working in the middle of a Skype connection. It had been working correctly: my contact heard me and saw my image. Then, the sound suddenly was lost, and after that the image. The green light on the iSight went off. If I plug the firewire cable into another port, the light comes on for a few seconds, then goes off. The iSight is identified in About This Mac. I took the iSight to the local Genius Bar, and it worked perfectly on 2 other Mac's. I was advised to re-install the OS with archive, but isn't there anything more simple?

Hello George,
... isn't there anything more simple?
Here are some things you can try.
(1) If you used your own iSight's cable when you tested your iSight at the Genius Bar, you know neither the cable nor your iSight is the problem.
You can test your iSight with other applications to determine whether you have problems with more than one. Also, consider the link there to Apple's "iSight: How to Troubleshoot" suggestions.
(2) If your only problem is with Skype, consider reinstalling Skype or check out Skype's great Help section. Skype even hosts its own discussion forums dedicated to Skype specific issues.
(3) If your iSight has problems with more than one application, consider whether your Mac OS X Maintenance is up to date. Maintenance is the first thing I check when I begin to experience minor problems or system slowdown.
(4) If your problem persists although your OS X Maintenance is current, download and apply this Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update (PPC). Finish with another Permissions Repair and check your iSight again.
Users have reported fixes to a variety of audio, video, connectivity, and software conflicts and unreliability issues after properly applying Combo Updates.
The Combo Updater will be much simpler than an A&I reinstall.

Speakers suddenly stopped working

my sounds suddenly stopped working. After talking to a couple of knowledgeable people, I uninstalled the Realteck audio driver, and then I had decent sound coming through the speakers ! This is for an HP desktop, a6750y
So then I tried to re-install the driver. Although the driver had the same file name, it was newer than the one previously on the system, so I re-installed it, and once again, no sound. So I uninstalled this version, but now I have no sound !!!!
I do get sound through the headphones.
here's what I installed, but it's not working.
This question was solved.
