There was no sound in all my apps since I had updated to iOS 4.2.1. Now my iPad media player has no sound. And I've tried a dozen apps all of which are silent.
To un-mute your system and app sounds, just check the mute switch above the volume rocker. Sliding it all the way up, so that the little red dot is not being shown.

Mans thanks i had the Same problem
ReplyDeleteSame problem here with update 4.2.1. Trued to reinstall via iTines but still silent.
ReplyDeletethey changed the screen lock to a mute botton with the update... unlock your screen and youll get sound back.
ReplyDeleteApples lack of communication is absurd! But thanks for the help.
ReplyDeletethanks for the heads up..was getting worried i would have to restore the ipad(nightmare!!!!) this actually works
ReplyDeleteyes, the switch on the side that use to be the landscape lock is not the mute switch....switch it up and all audio is back
ReplyDeleteThanks so much...its the little switch above the volume buttons.
ReplyDeleteI have sound on some apps such as Netflix but no sound on others so it is not a mute problem. I have reset to factory condition and reinstalled a couple of apps to try again and still have no sound (sending or receiving mail notification)
ReplyDeleteThank You! The little button was it for me!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Had this problem, too.
ReplyDeleteOMG...Thank You! I have been wrecking my brain trying to figure this out.
ReplyDeleteSo weird...I had same problem in just some of my apps. IPod player worked fine. The button solved the issue. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteArghh something so simple. I forgot about Apple changing that switch to a master mute. Oddly the iPod player was able to bypass it and play sounds as per normal. Ta, jeff
ReplyDeleteThank you so much - so simple yet so elusive a solution!
ReplyDeletethx
ReplyDeleteTHANKS YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteit was driving me nut :))
THANKS YOU
THANKS YOU
THANKS YOU
THANKS YOU
my cover blocked that little switch
THANKS YOU
THANKS YOU
Merci je pensais également que j'avais un problème sur mon iPad mais c'est juste le mute button, le pire c'est que ça fonctionne tjs avec l'iPod le son!
ReplyDeleteThanks :-)
ReplyDeleteThe switch at the side worked for me, but the solution needs a little modification. The setting for the switch also needs to be changed to "Mute" in "Settings," if it has not already been changed.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip!
Yes, thanks for me too. I guess the list of thank your will get longer heheh. The combination of muting and locking is not the greatest idea. But now its solved.
ReplyDeleteStill a problem with apps/games not providing sound through the speaker, such as dice rolling. ITunes and iHeartradio play thru the speaker fine, and everything plays thru earphones fine. The time frame is consistent with everything above but I've moved the button off red and still no sound through the speaker for the three games I have, Backgammon, flight control HD, and craps deluxe. Any other suggestions? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI also have this problem. Music plays and even some apps make sound (talking Tom works) but almost all other apps are silent. Not the mute button issue. Have restored from backup and fiddled with all the settings I can think of. Really weird. Good to know I'm not alone.
ReplyDeleteI pushed the mute switch up as well, but had to change the slide switch function bqck to mute as (settings slide switch option) well before the audio kicked back in.
ReplyDeleteI had my side switch set to lock rotation instead of mute so I switched that back to mute and now my sound works again! Thanks everyone!
ReplyDeleteHad to turn Mute on in the settings as well. My slide switch on the side was okay. Hmmm....
ReplyDeleteAll you have to do is go to settings and either choose that you want the switch as mute or as a rotation switch to get your app sounds back.
ReplyDeleteCan not get the sound to work on some apps. Tried all the suggestions with the switch.. still not working????? What gives?
ReplyDeleteYou need double click the home button twice and then another dock will pop up. Scroll to the left and it will take you to another screen where you control your ipod. There's an un-mute button that you need to click and that will bring back the sound for your apps etc.
ReplyDeletewow..i had changed it to lock screen earlier, but after reading this, closed the app and changed the locking to mute, then reopened the app and unmuted using the button, and viola it works...thanks a ton...i was getting nervous about this.. stupid ipad testers... should have tested this simple scenario
ReplyDeleteOH MY STARS THANKS A BUNCH I WAS ABOUT TO GO TO APPLE STORE JUST FOR THAT LOL
ReplyDeleteomg thanks from me - had set switch to lock rotation but checking and unchecking the mute option freed it up somehow to play the audio on eyetv. THANKS
ReplyDeleteI just fixed this problem on my iPad and it if you had my problem which was having my side switch changed to lock rotation and apps still had no sound then to fix this all you need to do is go to settings>general then change the switch function back to mute.move the switch so everything is unmute and now you have the sound to your apps back.the whole problem to this is that the iPad remembers its previous settings even after you change the switch function. So if you put it to mute then changed the function to lock rotation,the iPad still remembers you setting it to mute.
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I had to change from rotation to sound on my iPad settings to be able to get sound while watching movies, and belive me it took me some time to figure that one out! so stupid!
ReplyDeleteAdd me to the list - thanks - saved me a trip to the Apple Store too!
ReplyDeleteI have followed all the suggestions, and still no sound
ReplyDeleteWith earphones plugged in, no problem but take out the earphones, and it says dock connector. I don't have one so I'm not sure it comes up with that.
That rotation/mute solution worked for me! Thanx!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUU!!!! Um...did I say thanks?
ReplyDeleteImportant! If you changed rocker switch to control landscape, rather than on/off sound in settings, the apps stay silent.
ReplyDeleteBig Bad Bug, Apple!
Nothing of tjis is working for me.. Have tried it all! Has anyone been at the Apple store with tjis problem?
ReplyDeleteMy ipads red button is already up and the sound is still not making sound! I didn't update anything either! What do I do? It only happens on the app "TouchBand"!
ReplyDeleteI have tried all these but still am not getting sound on the applications can someone help me
ReplyDeleteI had a problem I can't hear my friend on FaceTime and no sound when I use the video.help...
ReplyDeletego to settings: General
ReplyDeleteCheck LOCK ROTATION
