Volume of my iPad

Hi there channing200!

If your iPad is indicating that headphones are plugged in, even though they are not, you can try the following troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue:

• Clean the headphone jack: Sometimes, dust or debris can accumulate in the headphone jack, causing the device to register that headphones are plugged in. Use a clean, dry cloth or a soft brush to gently clean the headphone jack. Avoid using any liquid or sharp objects.
• Restart your iPad: Press and hold the power button until the "slide to power off" slider appears. Slide it to turn off your iPad. Once it's completely powered off, press and hold the power button again until the Apple logo appears to turn it back on. Check if the issue is resolved.
• Check the Bluetooth settings: If you have previously connected Bluetooth headphones or speakers to your iPad, it's possible that the audio output is set to Bluetooth. Swipe down from the top-right corner of the screen to open Control Center, then tap the "Audio Output" button (looks like a triangle with three circles). Make sure "iPad" or "Speaker" is selected as the audio output.
• Adjust the volume: While the headphones are not physically connected, try adjusting the volume using the volume buttons on the side of your iPad or from the Control Center. Sometimes, the volume may be set to a very low level or muted, causing the sound to be inaudible.

Remember to make sure that you have the latest iOS version installed on your iPad, as software updates often include bug fixes and improvements that could resolve such issues. My 9th gen gets super buggy if I don't update regularly.
