ipad2 lost sound after ios7 update

I am still having a sound problem with my iPad 2 as well. Contacted Apple Support and have gone to the Apple Store, and still no resolution. Does anyone have any further suggestions ???

No sound and curiously no sound bar showing up on the screen when I do try to increase or decrease sound. I have done all of the suggestions numerous times, including restarting and updating on computer. The only sound I can get is when I go to settings>sounds> ringtones. Now why do I have ringtones on my ipad?

Anyway, no fixes, nothing from Apple and it is totally frustrating. Will call them tomorrow.

Hey guys. Try the side switch. Mine was binded to mute de device, instead of locking. This you can find in the Settings -> General section. After switch the switch, the sounds has come back instantly.

Hope this help you as well.

I went to the Apple store (FREE appointment with the Genuis bar if you need it, go). Believe it or not, after literally 3 hours on line with support, the guy at the store took my ipad, blew out the 30pin port (where you plug in your adapter) and that was it! He said lint gets in these and keeps the sound from working. Also, check your earplug to make sure it is not clogged.

Worked for me, I am back up and running.

Best of luck

I had sound but it was horrible. And through the headphones was worse. Found this on another thread and it worked for me, even after turning off an don again.

Try this - Reset 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

The button is on the endogenous of the device and the round button on the front for those who do not know. I have and ipad2 and so Farsi good.

This worked for me too, weird

I am back to no sound. Have done everything, reboot, restore, hard start, reset, blown out the fuzz in the ports...

Nothing. I am so hating this. Will head back to Genius Bar and see if they can fix. Anything new to try?

Newest fix. Just back from the 'Genius bar' with my ipad, which is an ipad 3. My problem apparently is a bad sound chip... and will cost $299. to fix! but the guy working today showed me a work around. I have the camera connection kit from apple and when I plug it into the 30pin slot, I GET ITUNES WORKING! Ok, not a great fix, but it works and I will not spend $300 on a part that I think should never have gone out. Even genius guy said it was weird.

So, if your sound still isn't working and you have this camera connection kit, try it. They have them at the genius bar and used a test one for me first to make sure this would work.

Apple really needs to fix this problem there are over 4K people talking about this!

See response from me. I found a weird but final fix for this irritating problem😀

You may not believe this tried all kinds of things,found a reply on the forum as to loss of sound on ipad2.put alcohol the end off the charger cable and put this in the charger port,up and running well ,I just smeared Vodka on my finger then onto the charger plug? It worked a treat hope it works for others.

I have an iPad2 and an iPhone 4s - I am experiencing the loss of sound on the iPad2 but it's not a total loss of sound.. this is only happening on some apps and some videos that are on some websites. There is not real rhyme or reason that I can determine. I have sound when playing iTunes music but not within certain games.. i.e. bejewled blitz and Candy Crush are two which have not sound. This is not the case .....

Wow, nevermind... Wife just handed me the iPad which is hers... MUTE BUTTON WAS ON!

I did all you said and it worked wonderfully. Thankyou.

i had this problem after udating to ios6 on my ipad and after updating to ios 7.

i fixed this problem this way twice

get into your ipad root directory and go to

/System/Library/LaunchDeamons and locate the file com.apple.iapd.plist

And boom there's your sound

Where is the iPad root directory?

install iFile on your ipad or install SetupiPhoneBrowser.1.93 (for windows)

so you can access your files
