Ever since I upgraded to ios6, my ipad 2 has been stuck in headphones mode in airplay. I've tried plugging in my headphones and pulling them out. I've powered down and started back up. I've done a full restore. Never had this problem until the upgrade.
Anyone else running into this and does anyone have a fix?
Thanks.

Just started having same issue. Been on ios6 for a while. Tried a hard boot and worked all day. Plugged in overnight and was stuck again in the morning.
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPad. ( I think you do this restore)
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPad for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

Replace the jack yourself
Have not tried factory reset yet. Will try that first.

Cleaned docking port. Seems to have worked, but now it seems to randomly stop playing music and I have to keep tapping play button....
