iPad sound only works with headphones

None of the posts here helped but I found my solution on another site... It said sometimes moisture can get in the earphone jack and to try using a hair dryer. I ran the hair dryer to dry the jack for about 30 to 60 seconds on warm and that did the trick!

Okay guys this is so simple. My iPod 5 had the same problem. It said I had headphones in but I didn't and the sound didn't work. I tried almost all of the suggestions on here and nothing worked. But I figured it out. All you do it go to Settings, then click Sounds, and slide that volume bar down and back up again and then it should work.

I had the same thing happened with my head trying to being stuck on I used a Q-tip and cleaned the opening now my phone works fine

This post helped me better! I spilled water on my iPad and the water seemed to get in through the headphones port, so I just cleaned mine too and my it works again.. Thanks very much! Bless you. 😀

I Did a combination of a Bluetooth connection and the pluged in thing and it worked-thank God! I was testing my waterproof case by armor-x I have an iPad mini 1st generation and the charging port popped open and it flooded-I waited for the port to dry though i didn't want to get electrocuted!

Thank you so much, it was the Bluetooth and works perfectly once I turned it off! You saved me lots of time and grief! Thanks!

I Put headphones back in and removed them again. Sound came back. I did go to settings and switched the sound lock setting to off too but when I tried afterwards it still said headphones on volume display. Then I put headphones back in and removed them, it worked after that. I guess I will go back to settings, sound, and switch sound lock back on.

I have the newest iPad. I tried all of this and nothing worked. After many hours of frustration I tried the following and now I have sound! In settings search for "speaker" then click on Call Audio Routing, then checked Speaker. It was on Automatic before. I now have sound!!

Hallelujah!!! I believe my problem was the result of slight water damage. I spent two hours trying the cotton ball trick, blowing air in, sucking air out, putting it in front of an air conditioner, resetting a dozen times....the hair dryer fixed it within a minute! I literally jumped up and down in my bathroom when I saw "headphones" change to "sound effects" on my iPad! Its a few years old so I wasn't excited to throw a couple hundred bucks at it for a dumb mistake. Now I just want to keep typing since I have a newfound love for that click click click!!! Thank you!!

This worked for me today. Connect your iPad to a bluetooth player, play some music. Pause the music, tap the square with the arrow that points up and choose iPad. Good luck.

OMGU I found a great way to do it!!! 😁 It's similar to the bin one, but instead you use a needle! It's really thin, so it can get anything out of the headphone jack that can be causing your problem! It tried it and it worked! ( On my iPad Mini 😕 ) Hope it helps for anyone else!

Captain Prescott, you are a genius! This method worked to perfection. Thank you!!😁

If your volume icon that appears when you push volume buttons up/down indicates you have headphones in when you don't, this is the perfect solution.

Who needs fancy technical solutions when you have a thin, paper covered wire wrap! And the analogy of getting "wax outta your ear" is brilliant.

My iPad Pro has no sound. It says I have headphones plugged in but I dontt

Really a big thnku for da hlp u suggested!!!

THIS WORKED! I wish your answer on how to fix this problem had been on the first

page and then I wouldn't of had to try all the others first before your solution worked. THANKS!
