ipad stuck in headphone mode

I had this issue too, double whammy of being in flight mode and leaking water bottle. Tried the suggestions of rebooting and resetting but didn't work for me. However I left the battery on charge overnight even though it was already fully charged and in the morning the iPad had reset itself to normal sound mode.

you can click on the power off button for a long time then slide to power off then click on the same button again for a long time then see what happens

hope my answer helps

I had tried all the other suggestions. This worked perfectly! Thank you so much! I would have never thought to put it in airplane mode!!!

That helped so much. Thank You ;)

Worked for me when the hair dryer didn't. Thx.

Sorry, meant to say turning airplane mode on and off worked. Thx.

Thanks for your post. Quirky, I know there were multiple suggestions. Tried all, even the hair dryer, but your wifi suggestion worked for me.

Thanks it did the trick first time on my iPad Air. 🙂

i tried this but didnt work. any other ways please. thanks.

This is the only one that worked for me.

Thank You!

Just worked for me, Thanks

Thanks worked for me

Despite numerous resets and restore to original settings, what actually worked was placing the iPad back on the charger and the volume settings restored from headphone settings to normal settings
