Hi, Since updating to IOS 6, Almost all of my games on ipad 2 have lost their audio completely. Movies and some apps are fine but Fifa 13, Tiger woods, Contract killer, GTA, all of which werent cheap, no longer have sound. Any ideas?

Yep, I have experienced the same problem. Very annoying.

Hope to see a fix soon.

Good luck.

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.

Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

1. Double-click the Home button and swipe the Task Bar (at bottom) to the right. Check volume and mute settings.

2. Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo

If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.

System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.

Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.

If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.

If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.

If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.

This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Diavonex,

That did the trick. I do not remember making any changes to my general settings updating my iPad software. But anyhow thanks again.
