Why won't my ipad2 play sound when i open apps

I just got the ipad 2 it is working great in every other way as fare as i can tell, but when ever i open an app, it wont play the sound from the app. i have checked every thing i can think of. all apps and every thing have been updated. the ipad 2 will play my music and movies just fine its only with the apps that i downloaded. help please!!

If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds 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. So check the side switch first if you have no 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.

  • Why did my mac stop playing sound?

    Anybody know why my laptop isn't playing sound anymore? I have check the audio in settings and everything looks normal minus the master volume. It won't let me touch that and adjust it...ideas?

    What version of OS X are you running? Which MacBook Pro model do you have (e.g., 15" late 2011)?
    Have you tried going to System Preferences>Sound and selecting your internal speakers for output? Can you get sound by using headphones?
    Just need some more information.

  • Why won't FireFox 4 play mp3 files that have been created since the FF update? It will play mp3 files created prior to the FF update. All of the mp3 files have been created in the same manner, as bounces from Logic Pro 9. Thank you.

    Hi David,
    Thank you for your detailed question. It sounds like the real issue is pdf files. Are there any antivirus/firewalls that might be blocking this specific file type? or are there any preferences in your control panel that might be blocking this?
    Do you have any stored preferences for PDF files in Firefox?

  • Why won't my music play on my iPhone 4s?

    why won't my music play on my iPhone 4s? it was playing thru the music app but now it's not playing. It show the song but doesn't do anything.

    I had this issue when I first upgraded my Iphone4 to ios5.  All my music appeared on my device as they always have but they would not play.  I searched around online and it appears there was mention of unchecking the "sync music" check box in itunes under the music tab (when device is connected) and syncing your device.  I then unchecked all my playlists and synced again then started adding back my music from scratch.  After that headache - everything seemed to be back to normal and my music was working once again.

  • I am not being able to play sound when I import a .MTS file from my folder

    I am not being able to play sound when I import a .MTS file from my folder on my sequence bar of my Premiere Pro CS6. Even if I use my Media Browser to import the file, the video plays fine, but the audio is disabled it seems. I don't know what to do since I have used .MTS files before without hassle on CS5.5. It is quite frustrating. What can I do?

    Hi debesh05,
    Please mention the Operating System that you are using and also make and model of the Camera that was used to capture those clips. Also, try to make another folder with the same name in the same location where the .MTS files are and move all the clips into the new folder and then try to import the files again using Media Browser in Premiere Pro CS6. If this doesn't work then make a copy of one file and rename it as .M2TS and then import that single file into Premiere Pro CS6. Please update if either of the solution works for you.

  • Why won't my Razr Maxx ring when called from my home phone or the other cell phone (I-phone) on my Verizon account?

    Why won't my Razr Maxx ring when called from my home phone or the other cell phone (I-phone) on my Verizon account?

    Hi Ruth:
    Thanks for reaching out to me about this issue.
    This has been happening since I got the phone a couple of years ago.
    I did not realize that my home land line and my wife's cell phone
    always go straight to voice mail until my wife pointed it out to me
    several months ago.  Is there a setting I can adjust?
    Yes, I can make calls to our home land line and to her cell phone
    without being diverted to voice mail.
    Any advice you might have would be most welcome.
    Thanks.
