No sound on the iPad – this could be the problem

If your iPad is silent and doesn’t make any sound when you receive messages or in apps, there may be several reasons for this

No sound to be heard: iPad remains silent

If you want to play a song or watch a movie and your iPad has no sound, there are various possible causes for the problem, all of which can be easily resolved:

• Volume: On the right-hand side of the iPad you will find two buttons that merge into one another. You may have accidentally set your iPad to “silent” – simply increase the volume again using the toggle switch.

• Mute: There is a switch above the button that you can slide up and down. If the switch is highlighted orange, muting is usually activated.

• Settings: Open the “Settings” app and select the “Sounds” menu item. Here you will see the option “Ring and notification tones”. If you move the slider all the way to the right, the device will play sounds again.

• Control Center: You may also have adjusted the volume of your iPad via the Control Center. There is also a button for muting in the icon bar on the far right here.

• Flight mode or Airplay or Bluetooth: In the Control Center, you can also check whether Airplay or Bluetooth are activated and your iPad is playing music on other playback devices, for example. Deactivate these functions individually or go to “Airplane mode”. This will disconnect all active connections to other devices. Music or sounds can now no longer be forwarded to external devices.
