Tilting, Volume Buttons and Sound Effects icon problem.

Every time I tilt my iPad while using it on a flat surface the volume button is contacted and the Sound Effects icon appears. This is a very poor design in my opinion. It drives me crazy!! Any workarounds?

knothead997cdp - I know that with the iPhone, they say there is an app for everything, but causing you headaches isn't one of them! Judging from the multiple issues you are describing, the master reset is definitely the best course of action to take. You may always stop by at your closest Apple Store for a second opinion. In all honesty, it just sounds like the update went corrupt somewhere. Starting clean should take care of it!
Let us know how it goes. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us!
Thank you knothead997cdp, take care!

Volume button says sound effects, no sound.

I Can not get the sound to come through on my ipad. It works with head phones. It was working a few days ago. My volume buttons say sound effects. It used to say volume?

Hello Skeetercove,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Please follow the steps below to troubleshoot the issue of having no audio output from your iPad's speakers. Please note that even though the steps state it's for iPhone, the same applies to your iPad.
Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved, please contact Apple Support.

My new iPod plays the music over and over again. It does not stop and the volume buttons have no effect. What can I do? The RESTRICTIONS require a a passcode and I don't have one. Any suggestions?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup.
In order to restore with the unknown Restrictions passcode you will likely have to place the iPod in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Sound effects icon will not go away

Sound effect icon will not go away. It is in the middle of the screen. Tried changing the sound setting no luck.

I also am having issues with the "sound effects icon" on my iPad. I took it to an Apple store and was told there was a dent in the side by the sound button. Is this a common problem? Haven't dropped the iPad so don't know what has caused this. Apple said $269 to repair. Got the iPad at Christmas as a gift.

The sound effects icon is staying on the screen. How do I get this to go away

The sound effects icon is staying on my ipad. How do I get this to go away?
Thanks for the help.
Have A blessed and Wonderful Day!!!!!!!

If the sound icon is stuck on the screen, then the pad thinks you are pressing the volume rocker on the side of the pad. Do you have a case or something that might be touching that rocker?
Some have reported that they have put a small dent in the pad body that presses the switch. If so, you need to somehow indent it.
Try a reboot. Press and hold both the home and sleep button until the apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider.

I have just replaced the headphone jack, volume button and mute switch ribbon in my sister's iphone

As you see I replaced the ribbon on my sister's iphone. The volume buttons and mute switch dont work while the headphone jack works perfectly. Also it cannot find any wifi networks. Anyone having the same problem? This iphone has not been restored since it was bought. Or should she update to iOS7 maybe that'll help?
Thanks

Thanks but thats not gonna happen. Way too expensive, the company I bought the replacement off send me another one maybe its the ribbon. Im going to restore it first though.

Volume buttons and mute button don't function in Windows 8 64-bit

Almost funny, I also have installed Windows 8 64-bit on my ThionkPad SL500 (clean install). I have read other people complaining about "Volume buttons and mute button don't function". This is exactly the same problem I have. I have found no exact procedure about what software to install to make this work. Instead people refer to other threads that often end in some desert... So, does anyone (Lenovo?) have a clear answer on what software to install (and links to those drivers please...) :-? And, yes, I have tried installing different software packages by following threads, but nothing has worked just yet... So, clear instructions / links, please :-)
Thanks,
Niels

I recently found this information on the micorsoft troubleshooting website and thought of your post, not sure if you had found a solution but hopefully it is helpful.
My keyboard volume controls suddenly stopped working
If the volume controls on your keyboard stops working, check the Human Interface Device Access service on your computer to make sure it is set to Automatic.
In the Start menu, type View local services.
From the Search Results list, select View local services.
In the Services dialog box, locate Human Interface Device Access. Make sure the status is set to “Started.” If it is not started, click Start the service.
Right-click Human Interface Device Access and select Properties.
On the General tab, in the Startup type, select Automatic, and then click OK.
Thank you for being a part of the Lenovo Family,

I have the sound effects icon in the middle of my screen, how do I remove it?

I have the sound effects icon in the middle of my screen and I want it to go away! How do I get rid of it?

Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if that fixes it.

I am using logic to record a podcast and using soundboard to use as a playback for music and sound effects. I'd like to soft patch sound board into logic, and still use my interface for recording audio from the other members of the podcast.

I am using logic to record a podcast. I have a presonus firestudio mobile for my interface so I can record several people at the same time. I'm also using Soundboard for a playback system for music and sound effects. I'd like to know how to soft patch Soundboard into Logic while still using the Firestudio interface to record the other members of the podcast. Does anyone know how to do this? and if so can you tell me how to do it? Thanks.

Thanks. Now, since Apple failed to provide an audio in jack for their new and improved iMacs (mine has one), all I can suggest is that you contact AppleCare, since you have 90-dqy free phone support. If need be, you might reconsider your purchase, but that's for you to decide.
