My iPad has no sound

My iPad has no sound. Already tried rebooting and resetting (not to factory setting) but still it has no sound. Although alarm could be heard. Sometimes the sound appeared seconds after the iPad is switched ON and sometimes the sound appeared randomly when using the iPad. What's more, the volume bar (the thing that is use to increase/decrease the volume on screen) is gone! Neither when using the volume changer (beside the iPad) nor on control centre (so it is left blank). There is sound when using headphone but if it's left switched OFF, it did not produce any sound, so I had to unplug and unplug it back. This problem came before iOS 7 probably during iOS 6.0.0+. So any suggestion? Should I buy a new one?

iPad 2 Wi-Fi, iOS 7.0.3

I tried the reset step but had no luck then found this post http://iphonenosound.com/sound-and-speaker-has-stopped-working-on-ipad/ pretty strange but it says to clean the docking station. Also closing all the apps and deleting the facebook can help as well. There was heaps of dirt in there so must of had something to do with it, hope this helps!

ThinMan, you don't need to open Settings to turn off bluetooth. Just flick up from the bottom edge of your iPad and you'll see something useful appear.
