If your iPad has stopped making sound, there are a few things you can try to fix the problem. First, check to see if the mute switch is turned on. If it is, simply flip the switch to the “off” position. If that doesn’t work, try restarting your iPad. If neither of those solutions solve the problem, you may need to adjust your iPad’s settings. Go to the “Settings” app and select “Sound.” Make sure the “Ringer and Alerts” volume is turned up all the way. If you still can’t hear any sound, contact Apple Support for further assistance.

Fix: No Sound on iPad
The Problem: No Sound on iPad
If you find yourself in a situation where your iPad has no sound, there are a few possible explanations. First, check to see if the mute switch on the side of your iPad is turned on. If it is, simply flip the switch to the “Off” position and your sound should return.
If the mute switch is not the problem, it’s possible that you have accidentally enabled the “Do Not Disturb” feature in your Settings. This can happen if you accidentally swipe up from the bottom of your screen and tap the crescent moon icon. To disable “Do Not Disturb”, simply open your Settings app and tap the “Do Not Disturb” toggle to the off position.
If you’re still having trouble, it’s possible that your speaker is simply turned down. To adjust your speaker volume, open the Settings app and tap “Sounds”. From here, you can use the slider to adjust your speaker volume.
If you’ve tried all of these things and you’re still not hearing any sound, it’s possible that you have a hardware issue and you’ll need to take your iPad to an Apple Store or an authorized Apple service provider.
The Solution: Troubleshooting Tips
If you find that your iPad is not outputting sound, there are a few troubleshooting tips you can try. First, check to make sure that your iPad’s volume is turned up all the way. If it is, then try restarting your iPad. If that doesn’t work, then try resetting your iPad’s settings. To do this, go to the “Settings” app on your iPad and then select “General.” From there, scroll down to the “Reset” section and select “Reset All Settings.” This will reset all of your iPad’s settings to their factory defaults, so you may need to set some things up again afterwards. If you’re still having trouble, then you may need to take your iPad to an Apple Store or an authorized Apple service provider for further diagnosis.
The Results: Sound Finally Works on iPad
If you’re like me, you were having a frustrating time trying to figure out why there was no sound coming from your iPad. Here’s the good news: I finally figured it out and sound is now working on my iPad!
The first thing I did was check to see if the mute switch on the side of the iPad was turned on. That was not the problem. Next, I went into the Settings app and checked the volume level. It was turned all the way up.
I then restarted the iPad, but that didn’t fix the problem. I then checked to see if the speakers were blocked. They weren’t.
I was about to give up when I remembered that I had recently downloaded a new app. I opened the app and discovered that it had its own volume control. I turned up the volume and sound was finally working on my iPad!
If you’re having trouble with sound on your iPad, I hope this helps.
Conclusion
It is possible that your iPad’s sound settings may be configured incorrectly, causing there to be no sound output from the device. In this case, you can try resetting the settings to their defaults and see if that fixes the problem. Additionally, make sure that the volume on your iPad is turned up all the way; if it is not, you will not be able to hear any sound output from the device.
