I have no sound for the Arcade games

Hi


i have an iPad Pro and have just signed up for the Arcade games. Sadly I can’t get any sound. I have deleted the bell in settings suggested by another user but this still hasn’t done anything. I don’t have any switch on the side. Any help would be gratefully received


i have an iPad Pro 12.9” 4th gen

iPad Pro 12.9-inch, 3rd Gen, Wi-Fi

Hey Hammy74,


It sounds like you're having an issue with sound on your iPad.


We'd recommend reviewing this article as it has steps to take to help resolve sound issues: If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker


"If you prefer, here are some more steps you can try on your own. After following these steps, you might still need to contact Apple Support to discuss service options.

  1. Remove all screen protectors, films, or cases from your device. 
  2. Check the speaker opening to see if it's blocked or dirty. On iPhone only, make sure that the receiver isn't blocked or dirty. 
  3. If necessary, clean the speaker or receiver opening with a small, soft-bristled brush. Make sure that the brush is clean and dry.
  4. Go to Settings > Sounds (or Settings > Sounds & Haptics), and drag the Ringer and Alerts slider back and forth a few times. If you don't hear any sound, or if your speaker button on the Ringer and Alerts slider is dimmed, your speaker might need service.
  5. If you hear sound, try making a call with your iPhone and turn on speakerphone. On iPad or iPod touch, make a FaceTime call. If you still can't hear, or hear static or crackling, then your network or reception could be the issue. Try to call again later, or from a different location."


Thanks!
