No sound on iPad 3 after iOS 7 update.

you need to go to a apple store and they will replace it it hapened to me🙂😁

If everytime my iPad had lost sound I went to the Apple Store... it would have cost me another iPad just on Gas...

Unfortunately there are a lot of possibilities for sound problems - most of them are really simple. Some, not so much. I helped so much people on this 'sound matter' that I ended up making a short video:

http://youtu.be/SDf1LDcE95Q

(1min 36sec)

It covers the basics:

- checking side-switch / mute / "Control Center"

- volume all up

And also whe worst cases:

- closing all apps (for rare cases when a single app might render the sound system instable)

- rebooting the iPad

There are people who reported having forgotten an audio-bluetooth connection activated with a turned-off sound-system or speakers...

So, don't get desparete: try the things in the video. And if you have used Air-Play, a docking-connector with a stereo system or bluetooth speakers, you should make sure you 'undo' this selection.

I am having the same problems it works with headphones. And I can get sound when I go into sound settings. I'm so mad for updating this today! Some apps give sound and some don't.. Ex talking tom works but pandora and netflix do not

I did like the video closing the apps and reboot and it worked!!!!!!!! Thank You!!!

Thank you!!

I'm dealing with this issue right now and none of the traditional fixes have worked. Just wondering if anyone successfully tried this fix? Go into root,

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

Just delete it and restart

Device: ipad 3 wifi and 3g

OS: 7.1.1 (updated to the latest)

Bluetooth Device: none

airplay: none

sim: none

No Sound (within the last 10 days)

installed latest updates

sound falls off without any specific trigger

volume slider in control center (when swiping from bottom of screen) is gone

tried reboot several times (hold HOME and POWER until APPLE logo appears) - problem persists

Side switch (above volume) set to rotation lock - tried on mute - problem persists

Tried Siri ("Sound" reply with audio and for some reason can adjust volume again but closing siri and issue back) - audio is good

Tried youtube - no sound

All Apps up to date

Changed language to different one and back again 3 days ago - ISSUE SOLVED

Next day Issue back - Tried fix - ISSUE SOLVED AGAIN

Following Day - All used languages previously are not displaying volume slider in control center

Tried changing to new languages (other than what's been used) - volume slider present

while in a different language tried all apps - all are with sound 🙂 (now if I can only understand Chinese,Japanese, Eastern European Languages... lol)

CONCLUSION: BUG!!!

Solution: Bug Fix (Just updated to latest updates today hoping issue will be sorted out... 😟)

Commentary: If you're told to buy new apple products because of such issues when clearly this is a bug it is

1. person you're talking to doesn't have a clue ( Scenario: I have an issue with my computer and immediate response is try to reformat your hdd)

2. Sales quota for month and/or quarter not yet met

3. Latest notice for os update was yesterday so next one will be in a day?week?month?

If you have no volume slider in Control center bar at the bottom, wiggle the charging port tongue with your fingernails or with the charger connector while plugged. You will see the volume slider pop up and you have sound. Its a problem with the port becoming loose,affecting the speaker next to it, not software. Hope this saves you guys some frustration. That's why they tell you you need a new iPad, but don't tell you why.

I had exactly the same problem with no fix, no suggestion was working at all. After I watched this video on youtube I tried and fixed my problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd2o17zxm5A

I just clean the entrance with alcohol and than it started working. It's a pitty that you don't use your ipad anymore but i am definetely sure that it would fix it.

Thanks a Lot!!!!

My iPad speaker has starting working after 8 months. I am so happy now 🙂

Thanks so much. Tried everything but this was the one that worked!

Thank you so much! I had the same problem and did not know about the airplay. Your suggestion fixed the problem of no sound! Thank you!!!

I Tried everything except restarting it, after all I just updated it. It worked like a charm. Everyone should try this FIRST.
