ipad mini sound problem

Hello, my ipad mini that I bought a month ago was working fine when I first bought it. but now theres a problem with the sound. The thing is, at first i realised the game Sims sound was muted, although the volume is on, and then i figured the sound of messages, keyboard and mails etc was not working... i can listen to music and youtube works fine, today i realized that also at facebook app video sounds are muted. I beleive this is a operating system malfunction, what can i do to correct the problem... i am not sure but the problem may have started after the new ios update...

iPad, iOS 6.0.1, ipad mini

hi JimHdk,

I solved the problem with a reply from another tread.


from settings i choosed to use the side swithch for to lock/unlock rotation of the screen.

and when i was doing that the swith was in mute mode. so i keeps it muted and i didnt know that this was the problem. Now i set it back to sound setting mode and unmute the switch. everything works fine.


I guess apple should put another switch to control this under settings/general/side switch.

otherwise its so hard and confusing to figure that out while some apps have sound and some does not.
