Hello - just as a first suggestion - if your 'side switch' is defaulted to mute the sound (see pic below - just above the volume control), then this may have been inadvertently placed for muting - if this is not the problem, then please post back -

Unfortunately the mute switch is not the problem.

Unfortunately the mute switch is not the problem.

Sorry, often is the cause - if not already tried, I would now suggest a 'Restart' and if not effective, a 'Reset' of the iPad (directions below) - good luck and please post back if still having a problem - Dave

When an app (or several) are misbehaving, I usually go through the following steps:

1. Force Close - open the multi-tasking bar (double tap the 'home buttom' or use multi-gesturing and swipe up); press & hold an app until all begin to 'jiggle'; find the offending app(s) and press the 'red circle w/ minus sign' - return to the home screen & try again.


2. Restart - press & hold the 'Sleep/Awake' (a.k.a. power) button until a red slider appears (may take a few seconds) - move the slider to turn off the iPad; then press & hold the same button until the Apple logo appears - wait for a restart.


3. Reset - press & hold the 'Power' and 'Home' buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears - this may take a longer time, so have patience; the iPad will 're-boot' - NOTE that none of these maneuvers will alter your apps, files, or settings.

Have you checked I side the headphone jack to see if there's any debris there that could be causing the problem. If you see something, try vacuuming it out, using a small nozzle on your vacuum cleaner.
