My iPad will not unmute. I do not have a bell icon on my pull down menu.

How do I unmute my iPad? I have tried all of your suggestions and the red bell with a line through it continues to come up. Thank you for any new suggestions.


iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

Hello kpmai,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

We want to make sure the sound on your iPad is working normally for you.


Try these steps first to check the sound settings:

"Set sound options

Set options for alert tones and ringtones, and ringer and alert volumes.

  1. Go to Settings  > Sounds.
  2. Drag the slider to set the volume for the ringer and alerts.
  3. Tap Ringtone and other options to select sounds for the ringtone and alert tones."


Also, try this tip:

"Tip: If you’re not receiving incoming calls and notifications when you expect them, open Control Center, then check whether Do Not Disturb is on. If the Do Not Disturb button is highlighted, tap it to turn off Do Not Disturb. (When Do Not Disturb is on, the Do Not Disturb button also appears in the status bar.)"


This Apple Support page has the full details: Change or turn off iPad sounds - Apple Support

We hope this helps to resolve the sound related issue. Please let us know if you have further questions.

Cheers!
