My volume control is missing from the home bar. I have tried everything that has been posted online including the mute / direction button explanation.
I have restored the iPad as well.
The silver slider appeared briefly during the restore but disappeared again.
I know my sound works when I go into the settings but I am getting no sound in movies or games.
Help!
iPad 2, iOS 6.1.4
Have you tried cleaning the dock connector opening with a soft brush and just a little bit of rubbing alcohol? If not, give it a try.

I will give that a try I just plugged in my head phones and the sound came back and silver slider touch button but when I remove the head phones it disappears again!
The "fix" that I have suggested has been around on other forums as well as this forum. I recommended it to someone a couple of days ago and it worked. I'm not saying that it will work for you for sure, but your iPad has the same "symptoms" (no volume slider or no button on the slider) as many of the others who posted with this issue. using headphones always brings the sound back, rwmove the headphones and the sound goes away again. Cleaning the connector end worked for many of them.
Its worth a try. If that doesn't work, make sure that nothing is stuck in the earphone jack. That can cause the problem as well. See if there is any noticeable debris in there.
Thank you I just did as you said and its back on much appreciated!
You're welcome. I'm glad that it worked for you as well!
The tooth brush and rubbing alcohol did the trick for me. I was scared to do it at first but as long as u ring out the excess liquid it works fine, also turn your I-devise of first just shake the toothbrush a couple of times and slide it left and right in the connector like 3-4 times and your I-device will turn in automatically.
The volume control slider bar has disappeared from my iPad
