speaker jack stopped working is there a setting I'm missing.

The problem could be a little deeper than just a firm push of the headphone plug. I was puzzled why there was no sound from the headphone socket, yet the speakers were fine. Previously the headphone had worked OK.
I had just updated the software but had not turned off the ipad.
I held down the front button and the top button of the ipad together for 15 seconds and rebooted the ipad (incidentally this also works if for some reason the ipad simply will not switch on- ie the screen is dead).
The ipad now has perfect volume on both speaker and earphone connection.

I have the same problem iv tried everything everyone said but it doesn't work I had my iPad for three months use the same earphones and one day it doesnt work iv tried the ones that came with it.....no success :P so can anyone help me also for some reason the sound from the speakers are sounding funny plz HELP!!!!

I am slightly puzzled as you say you tried the ones that came with it. But the iPad doesn't come with any earphones, so I was wondering which ones you're referring to? Have you tried them on another device to check that the problem is with the iPad and not with the earphones.

I have the same problem with no sound from the earphone jack - speakers work even when the headphone jack is pushed in all the way. I have had my iPad for almost a year and primarily use headphones without a problem until yesterday. I have tried other headphones, ensuring the jack was completely plugged in, adjusted volume control with no luck. I've seen many post about the same problem but no solutions other than what I've already tried. Anyone have any other ideas? First time on this forum. Thanks.

Welcome to the forum! If turning ipad off totally, then back on doesnt work, try hooking it to pc, sync, then try a full factory restore.

well i mean the ones that came with an ipod touch well i fixed it anyways by turning it OFF then back ON then it went back to normal

I had the same problem and after turning off the ipad and then turning back on the earphone starts working.

I had this problem. Loose audio jack. Thought it may be too small. Ordered 3.5 mm jack as iPad specifications suggested. It arrived and...was same size as what I had. Looked more carefully at jac and iPad and jack opening. Realizes that "incase" iPad case was impeding hub of audio jack. This impeded seating of audio jack in slot. Took iPad out of case and... Audio jack seated further in opening and became tightly seated. Earphones worked perfectly. External sound turned off. Then took incase case and cut away small section which impeded jack from being seated properly. Now I can use the case and my earphones.
