New ipad air 5th generation: sounds on most apps not working

None of the games that otherwise work fine on my 4 year old ipad that I migrated over using bluetooth have any sound. I already tried restarting. This applies to 5 of my games apps (varying from chess, checkers, and flight sims). They work fine on the older ipad. Is this a 'feature'

Unintuitive response but after a bit of trial and error it worked: go to control center and remove the mute. Not sure why or how this 'enhancement' was put in in the newer generation but after removing the mute in control center, all games are working.


Apple, pls fix so our transition to new devices is smooth and have an incentive to purchase newer models
