Ios 17 and volume buttons

There have been multiple reports of dynamic volume controls being either unavailable, or unexpectedly reversed, after updating to iPadOS17.

For affected users, with iPad models that support enabling or disabling dynamic controls, changing settings does not appear to clear the problem. Similarly, for some, forced-restarts are also not resolving the issue.

iPadOS 17.0.1 has been released. While this update is primarily a security update, you should install this update - as it may also address this issue. If the iPadOS 17.0.1 update does not resolve the issue, you would be best advised to seek assistance directly from Apple Support. If the iPadOS 17.0.1 update does resolve the problem, for the benefit of others, please confirm resolution of the problem.

You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page. Alternatively, you can initiate and manage your support cases from Apple devices using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

You should also submit a bug report to Apple using their Product Feedback portal - as Apple may only assign resources to investigate and resolve the problem if sufficient reports are received.

Feedback - iPad - Apple

When submitting your bug report, ensure that you include your iPad model and installed version of iPadOS within the body of your report. Please don't rely upon the pick-list - as this rarely includes the most recent releases in the list.

After all the updates (as of today 12/04/23) I still have no volume control on the lock screen. You can pull down the control center and do it there, but it used to be on the lock screen as a part of each app "widget" so to speak. So if you tap the sleeping iPad, then you will see what is playing (Sirus XM, Spotify, Apple Music) and the volume slider would be right there within the app controls. It is no longer there. It needs to come back if there are no current ways to fix this.
