All of a sudden, my ipad 2 has no sound after I downloaded ios7

Is Do Not Disturb on by any chance? Check for a quarter-moon icon in the status bar up top.

Bluetooth was causing this problem with my IPad. Tried all of the other fixes with no success. Turned the Bluetooth off and the sound was back loud and clear!

Just turn off your ipad and then turn it on it should start working

I was having the same issue. I tried resetting as suggested with no luck. I then went to settings, general, then on the bottom right of the screen is Reset option. By going this route, my sound is back! Good luck!

Another issue that happens with the ipad 2 sound has to do with junk getting into the docker connector. Clean it out. Also, try connecting the cable and moving the connector around a bit while trying the volume buttons results in it working. Bend it a bit in that direction, and it may stay working. This worked for me.

The "Reset All" option worked for me too, although of course you need to restore your settings, e.g. Wallpaper, restrictions, etc.

I went to apple today and they CHANGED my ipad..... The swear there is not problem with hardware..... when I showed him the amount of complaints, he said: Oh don't worry we are gonna change your Ipad anyway..... TIP: My warranty has expired since September 2013....

Or I was lucky.... or they have to change IPADs because of this error in the new update!

I had the same issue, no sound after ios 7.0.4 update, headphones worked fine, but other than that, nothing. The fix took me about 5 minutes and $4.00. You have to jailbreak with evasi0n, which is simply a matter of downloading the jb tool, plugging in your device, and following the instructions, it takes about 5 minutes. Next, after cydia is installed, download the tweak (ifile), google this(cydia tweak to fix sound issue on ipad after update) it will give you specifics. It works, I was about to throw in the towel and toss my ipad. Hit me up with any questions.

I have the same problem. Everything was working fine, then I did the latest update. No sound except when I use headphones. This applies to everything, music, all apps including facebook, vine and YouTube, alerts, games...etc...

I have done:

A reset, holding sleep & home buttons

Complete restore to factory settings from my home computer

Checked the slide switch, it is set to lock rotation

Volume rocker buttons do not work, sometimes when I hit the volume rocker buttons, a grey box with a bell comes up that says "sound effects" but not volume. And it doesn't do anything

Reset all settings in general

Checked the settings in "sounds" ringers and alerts are set to "change with buttons"

Cleaned the headphone and dock ports with a soft brush and alcohol

I do not have an Apple TV or airplay, so those options are not available to change

Nothing has worked!

Anybody else out there have any suggestions...this has to be related to the iOS 7.3 update as everything was working normal before this update.

Oh Gosh... you could describe exactly the same issues I am having with my Ipad.

I also have everything you did and nothing works.

It looks like for a few Ipads works just resetting, others just changed Mute/Lock mode also works...

I feel more like being older versions having issues with elecronics components. Would Apple fix this or change our Ipads?

Thanks

I still happen to have my extended warranty through Geek Squad at Best Buy. They ordered me a "new" iPad and I'm waiting for it to arrive and making do with my iPad using external speakers.

To those comments above: no it is not on "no disturb", nor is it on mute.

I'm happy to hear they replaced your iPad inspirevida... we do not have an Apple store anywhere near us. Even when your warranty was expired...I agree it seems like non admittance to me.

The tech guy at geek squad recommended not doing the 7.0.3 upgrade until there is a known fix. Yeah I get to go back to IOS 6!!! I hate iOS 7!

Yes and NO... lol

I went to the store and showed them how many compalints from people having exactly the same issue. At the beginning they said NEVER software-hardware issue. After taking my IPAD inside they decided to EXCHANGE for free my ipad which warranty had expired 2 months ago.

It is my deepest opinion that older ipads were built with certain kind of electronic component that cant read the comand to allow user shifting between mute/locked rotation. Now they have to change the IPADS to allow clients continued service..... Again this is my hypothesis.

Good luck!

The same thing started happening on my 2 days old iPad mini 2. Tried restarting, resetting and made no different. All music and video apps still play sound but none of the games would make any kind of noice. Will bring it to Apple store soon.

This has just happened to my ipad argh!!! I've tried ALL the suggestions and none have worked. Please please someone help.

This is not good

Not even remotely good.

Grrr . I'm not feeling Christmassy now. Double Grrr

I have the same problem. I have visited the store, performed the reset, performed the backup, and restored the iPad. It still is malfunctioning and the store wants 250 to replace the iPad with a refurbished model. I'm not a satisfied customer at this point. The ios7 upgrade fouled up my ipad2 with 32 mb and 3G. Does this represent fraud via programmed obsolence?
