iPad says headphones are plugged in - but they aren't

I am unable to hear anything on my iPad b/c it seems to think that headphones are plugged into the machine, which they aren't. When headphones are plugged in, the volume works; however, once they're out, there isn't any volume. I have reset the iPad, but that didn't fix the problem. Any ideas? Thanks.

Ive figured it out, this work for me:

1. Shut off iPad

2. When off, plug in the headphones you were using

3. Turn on and play music

4. Unplug headphones, music will pause. Then play and should work.

Best of luck
