iPad Permanently Set on Headphone Audio Output

2017 iPad Pro: PPHK2LL/A 10.5-inch-display


Speakers don't work.


Only option available is headphones.


Speakers no longer play; output is set to headphones (but I rarely if ever use headphones with it). Only thing that ever goes in the lightning port is the charging cable. Just started a few weeks ago. Cycled iPad on and off to no avail.


Thank you!!!

iPad Pro (1st generation)

Your iPad Pro 10.5” has a 3.5mm Headphone jack. Within the jack is an internal switch that switches the iPad audio between the internal speakers and, when connected, your headphones.


This internal switch can sometimes get stuck; simply repeatedly inserting and removing a 3.5mm headphone plug can often clear the problem.
