Why isn’t my iPad sound working on games

On apps/games like “YouTube” it works fine. But on apps/games like “roblox”, “prodigy”, ect. It doesn’t work at all! it’s been on and off with this problem, a thing to note (maybe) is my down volume button isn’t working, like it’s stuck or clogged? But I’m using the swipe down and that works on YouTube and stuff but not games, only some like “cat game” and “cat condo”. It’s really odd, has this happened before, I know it’s really small but it bothers me because I like BG music but it’s not working in many of my favorite games or games I use often! Please help soon as possible...

Hello PinkWith_AHat,


We're glad you thought to ask Apple Support Communities about not having sound in some of your apps. If you haven't already, check the in-game controls and settings to see if there is something that controls the sound and volume within the app. If not, check Control Center to see if "Silent Mode" is turned on. The bell icon will be red if so. If it is red, tap it once to turn this off, then check those apps once more. More details about Control Center can be found here: Apps, settings, and features that you can use from Control Center


Check out the following guides for more information on controlling the sound on your iPad:


Change or turn off iPad sounds

Adjust the volume on iPad


Keep us posted.


Best regards.
