Hi Angus,

first try the basics: make sure iPad OS is up to date, if up to date then be certain to try a forced restart of the iPad (hold down the sleep and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple Logo appear).


-When you say the speakers are turning off, do you mean the speakers get lower in volume, volume completely is cut off/no audio whatsoever? Is the audio coming back after one second or two or is prolonged no audio until you perform an action? If it is a specific app that you see audio not working, make sure that app is up to date. Consider opening a support case with the app maker.
