iPad headphone jack not working

I discovered a setting that had the sound turned all the way to the right earphone. Moving it to the center position solved the issue for me.

Solution for me was going to:

Settings

General

Accessibility

Hearing

L & R level to the center position.

btimes,

thanks so much.

I've tried what you suggested, but still no sound. I decided to just load it as a new ipad and try installing one app at a time. Although I didn't find anything wrong with all the apps, but at least now there is SOUND! But whenever I re-install from backup, the sound will go off after a few hours. Not sure what is the cause but at least it's solved now.

Thank you once again 🙂

I got this from another website and it worked for me:

I just found out how to solve this problem.

You will need to reset your iPad.You will probably want to do a backup of your content before you do this. There was no loss of content when I did it, but it never hurts to be overly careful.

Go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings

That's it! The iPad will reset and the headphone jack will work every time.

At least, that is what happened to me. I was pretty excited to have found the solution.

Best of luck.

I haven't finished reading through this thread but just yesterday I had the same problem. Have you tried restarting the iPad? thats what I did and it's working fine again.

but if that doesn't help, take it to a cellphone repair place and have them look at it. Or find an Apple Store near you and ask them about it. Make an appointment at you local Genius Bar. im sure you'll find a solution there.

IF that doesn't work, I'd save up for a new iPad and make sure to back up everything on your current iPad. That way you can load it onto the new one.

Good luck, I hope this helped! 🙂

I have the same problem. I tried everything tht is written here. Nothing works. Need help please!!

Thanks! It worked for me too! I opened Skype and right away I had sound in the headphones and it now works fine with the Ipad Ipod too.

Thank you so much for posting the fix. It works for me, too! Sounds come through the headphones immediately as soon as Skype is opened Strange as it may seem but it works like a charm.

There was a bug with skype hijacking the audio and not releasing it.

Seems to still be an issue-I guess avoid skype for now.

Thank you sooo much. It worked for me too (iPad 1 OS 4.3.5.(8L1)). You saved me a trip to the apple store.

I had to go to the apple store. They changed it immediately and gave me a new one. Just take a rendez vouz at an apple store! That seems to be the only solution

Thanks for the tip. The Skype workaround (launching and closing Skype app) worked for me on my iPad 2. After several days with no headphone sound, I was finally able to use my headphones again.

What the deuce... Installing Skype fixed the issue... Thanks
