My iPad 3 iOS 8.3 suddenly stopped playing sound on its speakers while on Spotify. Volume max. Side switch not on mute. Tried rebooting thrice. Sounds won't work on other apps. Works with earpods.

My iPad 3 iOS 8.3 suddenly stopped playing sound on its speakers while I was listening on Spotify. Volume was maxxed out. Side switch not on mute. Tried rebooting thrice. Sounds won't work on other apps (Soundcloud, NPR, Clash of Clans). There are sounds when I attached my earpods. I tried the switch to mono solution on the other threads, didn't help either.

My iPad is generally muted because of classes, but when I un-mute it it works fine. It just stopped after one song, and now I can't get it to work. Any thoughts? Thanks.

iPad, iOS 8.3

Hi!

I've the same issue after updating to iOS 8.3. on iPad 3.

sound is working properly only with headphones attached.

when I tap on AirPlay button it says "Docking connector" while it should "iPad"

when i play with sound settings and try to change e.g. some alert sounds, sound is played and volume slider in control center magically appears.

any other app can't play sound.

is there any fix for that?

Thanks

Hi Bret,

I tried all that already, and now have tried cleaning the pins and the earphone slot, but there still isn't any sound.

Thanks for the link though.
