No sound on iPad mini after iOS 8 update

After updating my iPad mini to iOS 8 I found I couldn't hear any sounds. It is not muted, all sounds are up, and even tried with headphones. Can't hear music, games, keyboard clicks, nothing. I also updated my iPhone5 and the sound is fine there. Anyone else have this problem or know a solution?


And yes I checked the physical volume/mute buttons on the side as well as in the settings/sound menu.

Try reset iPad



Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down together until you see the Apple Logo.

Same issue on my side, iPad Air, on the beta it was working fine but since the official releases of iOS 8 and 8.0.2, no sounds on games such as Star Wars Commander or Pirates Plunder. When I use earphones it works, when I use bluetooth speakers no problem, but without these I can't ear the sound on games.


I tried the ideas posted on the topic, none of them worked (now I have to put back my settings...)


It pretty sad to see that something as basic as the sound is not working well on such expensive hardware!

tthis solved my issue, tx to someone that figured this out


I solved this on my ipad mini retina by setting the 'rotation lock' slider to 'sound off':

- Go to Setting->General

- Change from rotation lock to sound off.

- Wiggle the slider: sound will return

- Now you can set the slider back to rotation lock again

u r probably using the wrong button, is not volume. I hope you have an iPad with the slider.


but, in any case, try yo replicate the environment for the solution, and, if you DO NOT have the 'rotation lock" slider as "rotation lock" and directly in "sound off" go back one step and put it in "rotation lock" … try to use volume button, that it will not work and then do as below ...
