I have no sound on my IPad

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.

I have the same issue on two ipads, two iphones and an ipod. Since an update about 2 months ago, all 5 devices randomly lose all sound. Nothing makes any sound, like the speaker is disconnected. You can still connect to a Bluetooth speaker and play from that. Volume is up, not muted. No app or the OS can make any sound.

The solution for all 5 devices is the same: you have to reboot by holding down the power button then swiping the "reboot" swipe thing. After it reboots, sound is back.

This happens at least once a week. Before the update, this has never happened. It is a SW bug.

I have seen it happen twice right after being used on a bose minidoc II, but also happens without this.

We have a 3rd older ipad which also has no sound, but is not fixed by reboot. This one is different because if you blow through the charging port (its the old wide one), sound works while you are blowing. Stop blowing, sound stops. Sound is not good quality either. If you gently press an area to the right of the home button, sometimes you get a crackle of sound. We are assuming this one has a HW problem, which is a shame as the ipad has not been used much, and has never been dropped or similar.

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.
