Sound failure on iPad Air 2?

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I recieved my ipad earlier in the week all working fine, using various apps playing music happily.

This morning when i went to watch a video on youtube it wouldn't play with sound...(obviously the volume was up and not in mute mode)

When i held down the button to bring SIRI up, a loud buzz came from the speakers, the same happens when i turn on the lock screen sounds.

I haven't gone to the extent of resetting everything back to factory defaults yet.

any help much appreciated!!

I noticed something similar. When I first used the new audio message feature in iMessage i heard a crackling sound from the speakers. Playing a song in the music app I heard it crackle a bit at the beginning as well. And finally while viewing a website with no videos or sound clips, I did hear a pop in the speakers that concerned me. However, that was the first day. On the second day I streamed radio for about 4 hours and no pops or crackling sounds.

I will probably still exchange it within the 14 day window just as a precaution and hope the new one is free of the problems.
