No sound on iPad 3 after iOS 7 update.

No warranty on it. No AppleCare either. Bought it June 4, 2012.

I have an iPad 3 and also had no sound out of the blue. I tried every way I could but without any luck until I randomly started looking at my iCloud setting for no good reason, then the clicking sound from keyboard suddenly came out of the speaker. It was very strange and didn't make any sense but somehow it triggered the sound to come back.

What I exactly did was I went in settings > iCloud > storage & backup > your device > show all apps.

Hope this helps but I know everyone's remedy can be different.

There was also another place I noticed sound settings (which included mute) when messing with my iPad the other day that seemed odd - wish I could remember where it was. If you haven't yet I would tap on each option in the settings page, and scroll through every option on the right.

They have added too many ways to mess with sound in my opinion. There is one under the do not disturb setting, the lock screen button setting, airplay, etc...

I called apple and went thru many diagnostics and many resets. I finally was put on the line with senior genius and he took care of it for me, so the store didn't have to cover it. He set it all up and when I went to the store, they did what they are required to do and then gave me my replacement and set it up.

Today I started having the same problem that you describe with my iPad - the sound would only work with headphones.

The only time sound came out of the speaker on the iPad was when I went into "Sounds" under settings and tested the overall "ringer and alerts" volume slider and tried different ringtones. I could hear the ringtones, but when I went into any other type of system sound (text tone, new mail, sent mail, etc.) I got nothing, and also no sound in music or video apps. Everything worked fine with headphones.

Very strange. I updated my iPad to OS 7.04 this morning - don't know if the update caused the problem.

Anyway, I tried everything mentioned in this thread (and nothing helped). Finally, I went into "Music" under settings and turned on "Sound Check." Then I went back to my music app and pressed play. The iPad seemed to be doing some sort of recalibration, and then the sound started working again. So bizarre.

Hope this is helpful. Good luck!

The same thing happend to my IPAD 3 today. I was watching a vedio and suddenly I lost the sound.

I did everything that is suggested in this post like 1. restarting with homebutton and start button 2. reset all settings 3. changing sound setting in music 4. upgarde it to 7.0.4 (befor it was 7.0.3)

But none of it works !!

My IPAD3 sound is still not working with speaker

Please help!!

This solution worked for me, thank u :)

go to settings>>general>>accessibility>>hearing >>turn on MONO AUDIO

This solution worked for me, thank you :)

I just had this happen after installing a youtube app for my son.

After several things mentioned here, I fixed my iPad by setting the lock switch to set Mute (it was set to the Rotation Lock). I then exited settings and toggled the lock key back and forth so the iPad reported it was unmuted. I then pressed the volume up switch a couple times. I noticed when doing this that the iPad first showed Ringer Volume being adjusted and then switched to Sound Effect Volume.

I then rechecked in-app sound and it was restored for all of the games and the youtube app I was trying to install in the first place.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

I'm in the same position as you Corneliusmac. I've also tried all these suggestions and none have worked.

Just working out what's best to do regarding contacting apple. Would you recommend ringing before going in store? Also, did they hint at any possibilty of a fix to this bug in a future update?
