This short video (1min36sec) is a good 'checklist' on how to bring sounds back to your iPad:

Besides the obvious 'side-switch/muted' option, sound problems on the iPad/iPhone are not as 'rare' as people think - actually, a single crashed/missbehaved app can, under certain circumstances, render the sound-system innoperable... So, it is important to try closing all running apps (then wait some 20 seconds so the system can really close them underneeth...) before rebooting the iPad.


In rare cases you can have a 'hardware' issue... most of the times simply dirt/moisture in the dock connector or in the headphones connector... that keeps the iPad in 'headphones mode' or sound only going out by the docking connector... A soft Dry toothbrush is handy to clean the docking connector... People report that inserting and removing, gently, some headphones plug a few times can restore the propper detection that there is no actual headphone inserted so the sound can return to speakers....


Good luck to everyone with sound problems - it is not too complicated to have it back.
