Lost all the sound on my iPad game apps

There is no sound when I play my games anymore. This is the second time I've had problems with sound. I already had to switch out one iPad. I have a lot of apps and info on this one. I don't want to start all over again.
Anyone eLse have specific sound problems? My iTunes work, videos work. I can hear them all. But not game sounds.

And sound is half the fun with angry birds.

IPad, Windows XP

Is the switch on the right hand side of your iPad 'on' ? Rotation lock is a software function on the taskbar in 4.2 and the switch mutes notifications e.g. so that you can watch videos or listen to music without hearing email notifications etc. If you are on 4.3 then you can change the function of the side switch between rotation lock and notification muting. More info here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

Rotation lock via the taskbar : double-click the home button, slide from the left, and its the button far left; press home again to exit the taskbar; repeat to switch off rotation lock.

What steps did you go through e.g. it included checking the mute switch/icon and toggling it off/on ?

Hank you so much!!! I looked at my volume, apps volumes and couldn’t find where any mute buttons/silences in my settings were. This was a simple fix, thanks so much!!
