iPad 3 - No sound from speakers, but headphones work fine

Yesterday my ipad's sound abruptly stopped. I was playing something on youtube and suddenly the sound just wasnt there. The button clicks, SIRI etc too did not have any sound coming from speakers. However when I connected a 3.5mm jack headphone, it worked just fine, and i can hear sound via headphones.

I tried googling and resetting settings and then doing to full facotry reset but nothing worked.

Its an ipad 3 around 1 year 2 months old. Any advice to fix this problem is appreciated

Has anyone else had this problem recently?

thanks

iPad, iOS 7.0.3

I solved the same issue 3 weeks ago with a System restore from iTunes.

After this I recovered the sound from speakers.

Yes, I mean "Restore from backup".

I had also the last backup after the problem was detected. It worked from me this way.

Hope it's the same for you.

Same here since upgrading to 7.1 on iPad3. No sound from speakers but headphones work fine.

Come on Apple, find a fix for this, you've rendered my £550 investment useless!!!

Just completed reset, also used some compressed air to blow out headphone port and docking station, and now sound works again! Thanks to all that post the tips and tricks.

Thanks. I was pulling my hair out for hours trying to figure this problem out. The compressed air to the headphone port and docking station was the trick!

Cleaning earphone Jack and docking port with forced air repaired this for me.
