How To : Troubleshoot iPad No Sound Issue

First a disclaimer that this workaround is not the universal ipad no sound issue fix them all. This just happens to be a duct tape fix i do everytime i encounter this ipad no sound issue. I'm documenting and sharing it here at my blog for everyone an anyone to try on at their own risk.

I usually encounter this issue after playing a cracked app A.B. on the iPad.

The symptoms would be:

1. There is no sound on any iPad app like games.
2. Playing the iPod app sometimes have sound when playing music.
3. Make sure you're Side Switch is no either set to Mute or Enabled (you can see a red dot)

To try to fix:

1. Close all applications.
2. Double click the home button.
3. Hold an app for a couple of seconds to display those RED (-) marks icon at the top leftmost part of the app icon.
4. Tap those RED marks and close them all until nothing is left.
5. Press the home button or Tap anywhere outside the area where the running applications are displayed to return to the iPad home screen.
6. Tap Settings ipad app and go to General to check and make sure to set the Side Switch to be used for Mute.
7. Flip the Side Switch of your iPad enough to make one round of switch of enable or disable and making sure it is set to enable.
8. Try to open any application that you know has a working sound but not a cracked app such as a popular A.B.

The sound should be working back again.
