No Sound on IPAD2

OK,

I have had no sound since I upgraded to 6.1 on my Ipad2. I have done all the suggestions that have been on this thread. I did though turn off the Ipad2, when the red switch came up, I swiped it to turn it off. After about 5 min. Turned it back on the the sound bar appeared for about 3 seconds after I double clicked and checked the sound to the far left in the task screen, then disappeared and again no sound. I Cleaned the ports (Head set and the dock port) checked all the settings. I really think this is an Issue with the ios 6.1 update. Apple needs to fix this bug. I had sound before I upgraded. SO Apple take note.!!!!! Please come out with a fix to fix the sound issue. I even deleted and started all over as a new IPAD2. When I done this the sound bar was not there after I rebooted everything. THIS HAS TO BE A BUG IN THE UPGRADE, Come on Apple FIX IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am having the same issue. Also when I press the volume buttons on the side of the ipad, the usual bell symbol comes up in the center of the screen, but says sound effects instead of volume.

Yes, mine is the same. With the new iOS it is still the same, I believe it's a hardware issue. Probably need to send it in to get it repaired.

I took it into the Apple Store. I had my Ipad in a backpack and there was a yoghurt that opened. I thought it did n't get into the IPAD but apparently it did. They tried brushing it away at the charging port and it didn't work. They said I could either pay $199.00 for an exchange or get blue tooth speakers.

I did some more research online and found someone saying that if you took alcohol and cleaned the contacts that this would work. It did for awhile but doesn't any more.

Same things on the speakers. I bought Blue Tooth speakers and it worked for awhile and then just cut out.

When I try the volume control all I get is the Sound effects volume control

The person at the Apple Store said that the IPAD thinks it is docked and therefore doesn't play sound regular sounds through the speakers

I decided to send in my iPad to www.digiexpress.com. Total cost was $75.00. It is a defective charging port. They replaced it and now is working fine. Complete sound. They are highly rated and it takes about 3 weeks. You pay to send it in and to return it to you. But it's worth it. Great service. Just bite the bullet and send in your iPad.
