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.
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.
The berova fix worked for 24 hours. The problem then recurred. Help! Same problem on iPhone 5 & iPad since using IO7.
Oddly enough changing the keyboard language worked for me.
WOW! I can't imagine how you worked this out... But thank you!!!!
Thank you so very much - the switch was the problem, well not a problem now!!!🙂
change the language fix the problem, thanks
Berova1,
Thanks for for the information. I changed the language to Spanish and then back to English and that reset the sound somehow. Thanks for the tip. I have sound once again: )
This method seemed random to me at first, but it effectively got my sound back when I tried it.
Thanks for the tip. I turned off Game Center then switched the language back and forth and now I am getting sound again on my iPad. Thanks for the tip 🙂
Changing the language worked for me too on iPad Air, thanks!
