iPad keyboard clicks have disappeared

I have an iPad OS 13.3.1 and my keyboard click sounds have disappeared. I've tried toggling the 'Keyboard clicks' & 'Lock sound' buttons in Settings & then rebooting my iPad to no avail. I've tried turning off my Screen Lock & rebooting - nothing. I looked on Community for answers but the last entry is 2013 & refers to a mute button on the side of the iPad which my more modern version does not have. I'm not tech-savvy so don't want to mess about with my iPad & possibly create more problems without solving this one. Suggestions as to how to restore my click sounds very welcome.

Hi, the keyboard clicks are associated with the volume for the ringer and alerts, which is accessed under Settings >Sounds - use the slider to change that volume. However, even with that set (mines is about midway), and the Keyboard Clicks set to on, as you are not getting any sound when using the keyboard, there is a further step you need to do/ check. Go to the Control Centre (swipe down from the battery symbol in top right corner) and you may see a Bell icon that is scored out - if so, press this to toggle on the Ringer and Alerts sounds (in essence, unmuting them) and you should have your keyboard clicks. Adjust the volume as necessary for these using the slider as noted at the start of this post.


Hope this helps.

Hello iPadUser471,


We understand you have a concern with the keyboard noises.


Since you've already tried changing the option in Settings try to Return iPad settings to their defaults. Follow the steps under "Reset All Settings" to see if this makes a change to your keyboard noise.


Since your iPad doesn't have the side switch you can Change or turn off iPad sounds using this article.


We hope this helps.


Cheers.
