Hi Mskimmi01,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
I would start with these basic steps ...
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

If these two options don't resolve your issue, then see page 119 in the iPad User Guide to Reset All Settings
manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1595/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
Go to Settings > General > Reset, then choose an option:
Reset All Settings: All your preferences and settings are reset.
If the issue is not resolved, these are the specific troubleshooting steps for sound issues:
iPad: Understanding the side switch

iOS: Understanding sounds, ringtones, and alerts
