How to fix no sound on iPad

The iPad sounds a little quiet? This could be an issue with your speakers, headphones, or the iPad itself. Use this tutorial to fix no sound on iPad.

In recent years, Apple has invested heavily in making the iPad’s speakers sound as good as possible. If you're an iPad owner, you've invested a lot in listening to audio. That's why it's so troublesome when you have no sound on your iPad.

Why is there no sound on my iPad?

There are several reasons why your iPad won't play any audio. This could be a simple setup error, which is easily fixed. It's also possible that a software issue is causing it, which may be more challenging to resolve. It depends on whether it's a minor bug or a major system flaw.

Physical issues can also cause your speakers to malfunction. This could be due to water damage, dropping the iPad too hard, or simply because the iPad speakers have worn out over time. If this happens to you, then you may end up needing to replace your device to play audio again.

We won't be covering any physical damage repairs in this article, so if you know you've recently submerged your iPad in water or dropped it particularly hard before the audio stopped working, you may want to purchase one new. Otherwise, you don't need to know what's causing the problem, one of the fixes below is your solution!

Turn off silent mode and make sure your volume is turned up

The first two things we're going to try are pretty simple. We'll make sure your device isn't in silent mode, which may prevent some apps from playing audio. Then we'll make sure your volume keeps increasing because we don't want you to get stressed out over such a small issue.

Silent mode, like making your iPhone vibrate, mutes certain sounds like notifications and incoming calls. However, it can also silence apps like games if you forget to turn it off.

Here's how to turn off Slideshow mode:

1. If your iPad has a mute switch on the side, flip it so it's not red. This will resolve the issue in most cases. Only older iPads have a mute switch, so don't worry if you don't have one.
2. If your iPad does not have a mute switch, then you need toopen the control center心. You can do this by swiping down from the top right corner of iPad or swiping up from the bottom of iPad, depending on your iPad model.
3. When you open Control Center, look for the bell icon. If it is on, it will be tinted, otherwise neutral. Click on it to switch it to neutral.
   
4. If you don’t have a mute switch and don’t see the option to disable/enable silent mode in Control Center, open the Settings app on your iPad. Click Control Center, then click the green icon next to the Silent Mode option.
   
   Now, when you swipe to open Control Center, you should see Silent Mode in Control Center. Now repeat step 2.

Try unplugging/disconnecting your headphones

For users who are unable to play audio through their headphones, resolving this issue will be a little different. In this case, the goal is to see if there is an issue with the headphones or the connection between the iPad and the headphones.

Here are some steps you can try:

• Try another pair of headphones. If you have another pair of headphones nearby, you should test them to see if they aren't working as well. If they work, there's a good chance your current headphones are broken. If the new one doesn't work either, then there might be something wrong with your iPad.
• Clean the iPad’s auxiliary port. For iPads that still have a headphone jack, you can try cleaning it. To do this, unplug your headphones and blow forcefully into the headphone jack or use canned air. Do not put anything into the headphone jack to clean it.
• Try to forget and reconnect the Bluetooth headset. For Bluetooth headphones like AirPods, forgetting them and reconnecting them may cause them to play sound again.
  
  • To do this, open Settings on your iPad and tap Bluetooth. Find the headphones you want to reset and tap the blue i icon next to them.
  • Click Forget this device.
  • Repeat the process of reconnecting these headphones (you can do this from the same Bluetooth settings page we just opened). You can also try resetting your Bluetooth headset. You can read how to do this for AirPods here , or check out the instructions that come with your Bluetooth headphones.

Check if you are connected to a Bluetooth device

Speaking of Bluetooth headphones, this could also be due to a Bluetooth device. You might be connected to a Bluetooth device, such as a speaker or vehicle, without realizing it. If this is the case, then your audio is playing from there, not your iPad.

You may want to try the following troubleshooting steps next:

• Check that you are connected to a Bluetooth device. To do this, open Settings and tap Bluetooth. If any device in your Bluetooth settings says Connected, tap the blue i icon and tap Disconnect.
• Disable Bluetooth. Open Control Center by swiping down from the top right corner of iPad or swiping up from the bottom of iPad (depending on your model). Click the Bluetooth icon in the connections panel.
  

After doing this try playing the sound again.

Turn Mono Audio On and Off

The next thing to try to fix this issue is to turn mono audio on and off again. This acts as a soft reset of the iPad audio settings.

Reset mono audio on iPad:

1. Open the Settings app.
2. ClickAccessibility.
3. Click on Audio and Video under the Listening heading.
   
4. Click the switch next to Mono Audio to turn it on, then turn it off again. It should turn green and then back to neutral.
   
5. Test your audio to see if it starts working again.

Restart your iPad

Finally, if all else fails, you can try to resolve this issue by restarting your iPad. This will clear up most software issues that may prevent the sound from playing.

To restart iPad:

• Press and hold the Power and Home buttons for a few seconds, then slide Slide to power off. Press and hold the power button again after a few seconds to turn iPad back on.
• For iPad devices without a Home button, press and hold the Power button and Volume Up button for a few seconds. When it appears at the top of the screen, slide the slide to power off. After a few seconds, press and hold the power button to turn iPad back on.

If your iPad is still not playing sound, it’s time to contact Apple Support.
