Volume bar troubles

My volume bar will not work on my iPad 2. I have reset all settings and made sure the slide switch is set to lock, not mute.  It will play sound with headsets but not over Bluetooth. it shows sound effects but no volume settings... Should I reset settings again. Any other suggestions? Thanks...

Hello there, Shmames.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some great recommendations for troubleshooting issues with sound and would still be applicable for your iPad as well:
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
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.
There are also good Bluetooth troubleshooting recommendations in this article as well:

  • Troubling connection with iTunes (I have to jiggle the cable), and my volume bar drops out very often.

    Whenever I am syncing my iPhone 4 (with iOS 6.1.3) via cable with iTunes, I have to jiggle the cable to get it to connect with iTunes. Also, whenever I'm listening to any kind of sound, sometimes the sound just drops out and the volume bar disappears.
    I asked an Apple tech in the store, and he told me to restore the phone and set up as new phone. I have done this with no success. Any suggestions

    iPhone charging port is faulty or dirty. Clean charging port with clean toothbrush and small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol.

  • Sometimes the volume bar doesn't show up on the ipad

    Hello,
    I was wondering if anyone could help me with a problem I am having. One day out of the blue the sound on my wife's iPad stoped working for music or videos. The speakers still worked for ringers but not anything else, so I know that the speakers still work. Also I have noticed that the sound only works for the videos and music when you plug in headphones. Also for some reason if you go to raise or lower the volume the volume bar isn't present, I can't do anything with sound aside from hear my ringer. So I wanted to know if anyone knew what was wrong with it. I am thinking there might be a short because sometimes it will work again but only for about 3 seconds and then it doesn't work any more.
    Also please don't give me the link of trouble shooting steps because I have already done them all, and I have also reset the iPad back to the original factory settings and nothing fixed the problem. I even went as far as going to geek squad since I had free tech support from them for the moment and they just told me that according to all the test/trouble shooting procedure that there is nothing wrong with the iPad hardware or software wise and since the speaker works with the ringer, it is obviously working. However for some reason it does not work with videos, music, or anything else for that matter without the headphones being plugged in.
    If anyone has experience this problem please tell me what you had to do to get it fixed, and if repair was necessary how much did it cost?
    P.S. I am sure that the mute is not on.

    Apple does not repair devices beyond replacing the screen on some models or a battery replacement.  They replace the ENTIRE device.
    For the Out of Warranty replacement cost, you could have gotten a fully functional replacement device.  Instead you chose to spend less to get only the screen replaced and continue to live with additional issues.
    Apple will not touch the device now.  They will know that it was opened elsewhere and that the replacement screen is not original.

  • IPod Touch 3.1.3 1G no volume bar.

    does anyone has this problem? i plugged in earpiece, reset everything,restore to factory setting,tried everything but still there is no volume bar appearing! There is a very very soft volume but its really depressing you can't adjust the volume!

    Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod
    if still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipod Touch Version 3.1.3 volume bar disappeared and will not return

    The volume bar on my 1st generation iOS 3.1.3 ipod touch started disappearing then would return with tweeking of the headphones and sometimes when resetting all settings. Now it is gone completely and won't come back.
    I have tried resetting to factory settings.
    Cleaning the jack with a clean dry toothbrush.
    Any ideas???
    I thought I would try getting help here before going to the apple store.

    From your description it appears that the headphone jack is bad. You can make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to hear what they have to say.
    If Apple can't clean out the jack, they will exchange it for this price.

    Likely not worth it for a 1G iPod. Thee a thrid-party place that is less expensive.

  • My iPhone 4s no longer has sound for any of the applications but it does have sound for phone functions.  Where is the setting for app sound?  I have gone to the multitask screen and the volume bar is empty.

    I recently found my phone outside in light rain (it had been there about 20 minutes).  It had some glitches at first, however after letting it rest overnight it seemed to mostly recover.  The one problem I am having is that I no longer have sound for any of my applications.  I do have sound for phone fuctions, and I am able to use the speaker for phone functions. 
    When I am in my applications, including music/videos, the only way I can hear is if I use my earbuds.  I am able to make a video and it will record sound just fine.
    When I go to the multitask screen, the volume bar is empty and I cannot adjust it using the side buttons (even though in settings I have that feature activated). I completely reset all of my settings tonight and that did not make a difference. 
    Is there a setting I am missing, or am I just SOL?  I am trying to avoid having to get a whole new phone but it is very frustrating to not have sound with my applications.

    There are two places where vibrations can be set.
    One is the Settings > Sounds
    The other area is Settings > Notifications
    If you have an app set to Alert, it may have a vibration set for it.

  • How do I get my volume bar back on iPhone 4?

    My volume bar is missing from my iPhone 4 and this seems to be the reason the audio won't work when I try to play music. However, when I play a ringtone the audio is fine. I put my iPhone in the Bose speaker dock and the volume bar comes back, but only temporarily. I've already tried restoring it and it didn't fix the problem. Help?

    Just came home to find I have the same problem!! iPhone 4S, never jail broken,dropped or spilled anything on it! I have been using my original iPhone charger (when they came out with the new iPhone I just shaved my charging/docking station to fit) so it is a little on the dirty side!
    This is the first post I read so I did the headphone thing, the docking undocking thing, restarted it and messed with all the volume setting and neither of them worked.
    So finally taking "mike iPhone guys" post, I looked @ the 32 pin port at the bottem of the iPhone and I reminded me of a old Nintendo cartridge do untreated it as so.
    *** THIS IS HOW I FIXED THIS ISSUE, I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT BEFORE CONSULTING APPLE, YOU MIGHT DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE*********
    These are the exact steps I took ....
    1. I blew into the port and it did absolutely nothing!
    2. I took a vacuum ($200 Hoover windtunnel t series P.A.W.S pet approved vacuum, so it has some power behind it, not the most expensive but not the cheapest either) and used the smallest accessory, the long connection hose/tube with the smaller rectangle attachment and sucked the air out of the port.
    This worked for 5 secs my volume bar appeard and then disappeared again.
    3. I took a very thin butter knife, wrapped it with a paper towel that I sprayed windex with and stuck it in gently one both sides, tested and still didn't work.
    4. Repeated the previous step but added a little pressure and shoved the blade in the upper part only closest to the screen, not the bottem side the knife didn't want to go in as easy so I didn't try, alot of dirt was on the rag, then I used a dry part of the towel and did the same again until there was no dirt on it!
    Tested and still didn't work!
    5. Blow in it once more, and vacuumed it once more but this time putting my finger in the area that the vacuum didn't reach on both ends an lightly tapping it, WORKS FINE NOW! Just needed some
    Cleaning. I can only assume the dirt does make it
    Think that it's still docked.

  • My volume bar isn't working,how do I fix it ?

    How do I get a volume bar to work again?

    Thanks for following up
    Actually, I think my back up/sync is working.  However I still see the sync/back up icon on some of my online albums in the right side of the organizer screen.
    I can't figure out why some online albums have the icon and some don't.  I've right clicked on each and choose "share" yet the albums situation stays the same with the same albums as before displaying the sync/back up icon.
    I purchased an additional online storage, but after adding more photos and video, the amount of storage used hasn't increased.
    Am I going crazy???
    Thanks

  • Image zone/Volume bar

    HP Desktop M7240UK
    Windows 7
    Hi
    I recently upgraded to Windows 7 from XP and I have lost the HP Image zone,how can I reinstall it?.
    Also on my keyboard I have volume controls which when pressed would bring up a green volume bar on the monitor, this has also vanished and it was very handy.
    Please can you help me retrieve these valuable items.
    Regards

    York, I don't believe that you will be able to reinstall HP Image Zone software.  There is no way to install individual programs from the Recovery Discs.  As for the volume bar, this is a special app.  I have the same problem with my Logitech keyboard after installing Win7 Pro.  So far I haven't found the solution for this either.  I believe the Logitech software is not compatible with Win7.

  • Dv5-1124ca volume bar not working

    I've had my laptop for just over a month now, and every thing is fine minus the volume bar. Ever so oftent it will do something annoying like the display well stay up and it will continue to click and stuff, but that goes away when i press stop. Anyways now Im having another problem with the volume bar, when ever i try and use it it doesnt really adjust anything. Its acting kind of like a spring, it will go up a few levels then go right back to where it was. I've tryed reinstalling quick launch and quick touch, updating them, and even the recovery manager and dont know what else to try. Anyone have any suggestions?
    Message Edited by syst3m on 02-09-2009 09:51 PM

    This usualy happens when the quicktouch driver doesn't interact properly with the audio driver. Reinstalling both will almost always resolve this issue.
     Click on start, in the start search bar directly above, type REC. This will give you the option to open Recovery Manager. In recovery manager, select advanced options. Select hardware driver reinstallation. Click Next, then Next agian. In the list of avalibale driver, select your Quicklaunch (or quick touch) drivers and reinstall them. Then select and reinstall your audio driver. This SHOULD resolve your issue. If it doesn't you might try going online and looking for an updated version of both.
    -Good Luck

  • Volume Bar Lag

    Hi,
    I've recently encountered a problem with the volume bar displayed on my screen.
    There is a slight stutter/lag/delay between pressing the button on the keyboard and the volume bar changing its bars.
    This small lag builds up as i repeatedly press the button and the volume bar on screen just freezes so I have to wait a bit for it to catch up.
    The only temporary fix I seem to have is holding shift before pressing the volume buttons, but this silences the feedback sound.
    Is there a permanent fix to this?
