So does this mean that I cannot have rotation lock off and the mute function off at the same time? In other words, can I have my screen rotate automatically as I hold my iPad in either portrait or landscape AND hear sounds from my apps at the same time?

Yes, you can. You can configure the Side Switch (above the volume button) either as Mute switch or Rotation lock.

Settings > General > Use Side Switch to: choose what you like the Side Switch to function as.
