All notification sounds stopped working since ios7 on my ipad

Reset iPad

Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

Note: Data will not be affected.

I have an iPhone 5 and an iPad Mini, but I only had the problem on the iPad Mini.

I did not try moving the volume slider as you did but what I describe below worked for me.

This is what I posted in another thread:

I HAVE FIGURED OUT THE FIX FOR THIS! ... (Well it worked for me on my iPad Mini.)

I saw a post from an apple rep telling a iOS 6 user to turn the side switch on to un-mute the sounds. A no-brainier yes, but it made me wonder if the side switch may have been temporarily "confused" after updating to iOS 7 because it added the new settings screen that swipes up from the bottom of the screen. I was using my side-switch to lock the screen rotation and it was in the "off" (down) position (red visible) and none of my notifications were sounding. So I flipped it up and down a couple times which didn't solve the problem. So logically, I proceeded to what inevitably solved the problem...

Go to Settings > General / "Use Side Switch To" and select the opposite of what you are currently using. I had mine on Lock Rotation, so I selected Mute. Then flip your switch up and down slowly a couple of times to see that the confirmation on the screen is correct. You may have to go back to settings again and select the other choice if you originally had Mute selected, I don't know because I originally had Lock Rotation in use.

Hopefully, this will fix your notification sounds (and the lock sound when you press the power button). After using this fix, you can set the use of the side switch to your preference and still have all of your notification sounds!

Hi all, I had the same problem, notification sounds and click when closing cover stopped working for no apparent reason, I read the suggestions listed here to give me an idea where to look and how to solve the problem, this is what I did! Settings, General, Lock Sounds[ this was deactivated slide to left and not highlighted in green] just slid the button across so it turned green, which you would think meant it was locked but it worked, seems like the ios7 has got a few things back to front

Thanks, I'm so pleased I read your solution. I have an old iPad 1 and was having this problem. I did what you suggested with the lock button and it worked...wonderful, thanks Madge2009

Fabulous! I have got my sounds back. Weird how much I missed them when they were gone.

I followed your advice and discovered that in fact as you had suggested, my lock/mute button had become confused.

I had it in the lock position initially, so changed it to mute and then back a few times and finally back to lock and it now works perfectly.

Thank you so much for this.

i did as you described, went to settinga -> sounds and moved the slider bar to the farthest left and then to the volume I like and the notification and keyboard click sounds started working again. Thanks
