I have lost the sound on my IPad. Does anyone know how I can check the problem?
iPhone 3GS, iOS 6.1.3
Are you sure that you lost all sound... Even in the Music app? If you lost all sound, try rebooting the iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If you have sound in the music app, system sounds are probably muted.
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.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been struggling with this for a year. I've looked up fixes for this so many times I can't count and tried them all. This is the first time something worked. It was changing the language to French then back to English that worked for me. Good work Beroval 🙂
I have tried everything I know how to get my speakers to work since the upgrade 7.03 no luck. I have an iPad 3. Now I know these units don't last forever but is much as we pay for them they should've lasted through the upgrade . This is so frustrating . This sound does work if I use external speaker or a headphone , I believe those speakers should be working without all of this hassle . If there is as many people having problems as I have seen online, Apple should take care of this I am thinking . It is so aggravating when I have talkEd to Apple they only suggestion that they had was to buy another iPad . My iPad was not that old when the problem first occurred.
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 😢
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.
You will have to replace it
Replace what, and why?
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!
Thanks berova1 !!
IT WORKS !!! Thank you very much !!!!
we have issues like these at the store many times...
Thanks for the clarification PD2015.
I still have problems with no sound or distorted sound perhaps twice a week but a reboot sorts it.
Unfortunately my iPad2 is out of guarantee.
I found a sound effects button that needed to be turned on. General/sound
This should be posted on all the forum chats regarding no sound! Don't know how this happened but the slider was pushed over and never even knew it existed! Did the trick. Thx a million.
