You are welcome!

I tried many things such as hair dryers blowing in the head phone receiver cotton buds and even a tiny bit of water! But I turns out just switch you I pad of leave it for 10 seconds turn it on again and mute an dun mute it a few times turn the volume up and down and then play a song
