Ipad 2 no sound

[colleyl]

No longer have sound from apps. Have adjusted volume levels within apps. Powered iPad off and back on. Volume on upper, right of iPad is all the way up. Have explored Sounds within Settings but no luck. Recently updated to v. 5.0 but feel like a setting has been changed rather than a glitch with the update. Any suggestions appreciated.

Hi Colleyl - welcome to the forum!

Let me make one simple check which may not help? But check the 'slde switch' in the the right upper corner of the iPad (just above the toggle volume switch) - this is defaulted to set sound on or off, and can be accidentally switched to the OFF position - there are some other considerations - but please post back if this suggestion corrects your situation!

I had to join the forum just to thank you for your answer! I had sound in my iPad for video and music, but not in apps. It would never have occurred to me that the slider next to the sound button was to activate sound in apps. I was told I had a bad OS update or that my apps were corrupt, etc. Thank you not only providing the solution but also not treating the poster like an idiot.

Cheers!

Hi Rae - thanks a lot and glad that my suggestion helped! Yes that switch apparently mutes 'most' sounds other than audio & videos that are playing - Dave
