My volume control button is missing and I have no sound from internal speakers. How can I get my sound back?

My ipad was working properly but a few days ago I noticed my sound slider bar does not work and I get no sound from the ipad speakers. External speakers work and mute is off. Could I have touched something to make my sound inoperative on the ipad itself?

Turns out it's an iPad hardware problem. The guy at the Apple Store "Genius Bar" tried every software thing he could think of (including full system reset), then announced that something had gone wrong on the iPad circuit board. Sounds play if I plug in an external speaker, but no sound otherwise.

I was really surprised that the hardware circuitry would fail after less than 2 years, when the unit had never been dropped or got wt, etc. But that's what they told me.
