I have no sound on my IPad

"There may be a software bug. If you tried everything and no result , just try the following steps as well .

1. Sign out game centre.

2. Turn off the keybord clicks / lock sounds ( settings )

3. Reset home screen layout

4. Delete keybord shortcuts

5. Change language to another and back to English again .

I hope you fix the problem .

THANKS! This worked for me, saved me hundreds in repair fees!

Well I have really tried it all.....nothing....I just tried your solution after doing a total reset - erasing content and data. I am so frustrated!! Help before my kid goes even more crazy! lol 😢

Ok people....Apparently it is in fact an iOS7 issue...and after I tried EVERYTHING possible to bring back the volume I had to resort to doing a FULL RESTORE on my iPad 2.....and as of 5 mins ago, I have my sound back. Another friend told me to downgrade to iOS6, but that will take a bit more research. If the issue happens again, I'm afraid I may have to do that unless Apple comes out with a fix!

Thanks berova1! For some strange reason it worked! I wonder why?! Thanks again! :-)

Thanks Kberova, this worked for me & lots of other people

Thank you very much, this fixed the issue I was having with my iPad. You are a star.

The sound has always been faint on my iPad3 but I put this down as a characteristic, then after I upgraded to iOS7 the sound was distorted ( as I do not listen to music on the tablet this was not a major problem ) but then suddenly yesterday the sound failed completely.

I tried all the tips posted, rebooting etc., etc., but all was silent.

Today in desperation I took your advice and switched the language setting to another then back to English and improbable as it seems , it worked!

The sound has returned with an increased volume, the distortion is still there though!

Thank you.

P.S. Top tip. If you are changing the language setting don't change it to Chinese, Japanese or any non roman script or you may not find your way back!!!!!LOL.

You will have to replace it

Replace what, and why?

Update on yesterday's post.

Turned off iPad in evening and put on charge overnight. Next morning turned iPad on, NO SOUND!!!! Again, not a cheep.

Rebooted by holding down Home button and On-Off button until Apple logo appeared.

Bingo! Sound again with the increased volume and no distortion.

We'll see what happens the next time I switch on and off!

About time Apple sorted it out.

Thanks Kberova. Your fix worked for my daugher's ipad, after weeks of her Ipad having no sound!

i just changed the language from spanish to english and it came back to normal, the sound, the volume bar on the menu.

hope it could help!

After 2 hours of frustration and checking every setting and button on my IPad 3G, I finally resorted to Google and this discussion. I'm very thankful to report that the hard reset using the power key and the home button together to do the hard reset resolved my issue and my sound is back. Thank-you to all who post here!

Thanks berova1 !!

IT WORKS !!! Thank you very much !!!!

You will have to replace the ipad by going to the nearest apple dealer, since the mic is prob gone. Even if it didn't turn on after resetting and even if the sound is on. depending on the ipad and if your not under warranty your looking at 200-300 dollars for a swap.
