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

Thanks. It worked.

I recomend checking the toggle switch right above the volume switch. I was having the same problem with apps not playing music and tried everything and then just out of the blue decided to check that toggle and pushed it up and everything worked.

I had been without sound on several apps for a month, thismorning I updated my main news app and suddenly no sound there either. On my ipad 2 with IOS 7.0.4, the reset all settings worked to get the sound back.

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

Ok, uninstalled a few apps (soundcloud was one) opened the calendar, switched it off....and yay.

Merry Christmas :)

I had tried everything here, but nothing worked.

I was able to get it to work by going to

"settings; general; "USE SLIDE SWICH TO:" Lock Rotation / Mute." I switched it to "Lock Rotation"

SLOVED!!! it was back to normal.

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?

Don't know why this worked but... Noticed that only app with sound was candy crush. So deleted candy crush and now have sound back. Maybe give that a try. Or delete whichever app seem to be hijacking your sound in iOS 7.

In all fairness, I have made a new discovery after going through a series of frustrating phone calls with APPLE, with the representative claiming it has to be a hardware problem. I had convinced myself this was software problem because of the similarity to the discussions above, and the coincidence with IOS 7 upgrade, but it is not. I have just discovered that when I squeeze the bottom of the ipad 2 near the speaker, the sound magically turns on. There seems to be a "sweet spot" where I can apply very light pressure to engage the sound. Unfortunately, when I release the pressure the sound reverts to off. There is obviously a loose connection inside the pad. Becasue the IPAD is out of warranty, MAC will only extend a 249.00 exchange fee.....So much for keeping the customer happy, but I retract my comment that it is fradulent programmed obsolecence.

I had the same problem. Took it to the Genius Bar and they said that I have corrosion on the pins of the docking/charging port. They cleaned it as best they could but it still didn't work. Their solution: replace it for $250. Nope. Took it home and put some lighter fluid on an old toothbrush, and cleaned the port. Sound works fine now. WARNING this WILL void your warranty, but since they said I needed to replace it, it was worth a try for me. Obviously turn your iPad off before doing this, and let the lighter fluid fully evaporate (1 hr) before turning back on.

WOW you were so right about that sweet spot. Out of all the things I've tried this seems to be the only thing that worked. Too bad its temporary. Well at least I can expect a check in the mail sometime in the future after Apple gets sued.

I went to settings and changed the configuration of the side switch from lock rotation to mute, then I move the switch to mute and unmute the Ipad, this made my sound work again. Why? IOs 7 caused this...

I just returned from The Outpost, which is an Apple support store. My ipad 2 had no volumne and I asked them to see if they could figure out why it was not working. They could not. They suggested that it could be either a hardware or a software problem and because I no longer had warranty, they could look into it for a fee. They asked how old my ipad was and it is only 2 years old. They suggested that it could be outdated!!!!\

I thanked them, came home and Googled how to fix. Suggestion was to to to General and do a reset. Thank you for your suggestion. This not only worked, it saved me $$$ as well as well as made me realize that the staff they have working in these stores need to be more aware of how to deal with this problem, which seems to be quite frequent.

Thanks again

The reset option worked for me as well. Thank you everyone who contributed to this thread!

Reset as in restore?
