Sound, music, and video
If iPad doesn’t have sound or if video doesn’t play, try these steps.

No sound

Make sure the iPad speaker isn’t covered.
Make sure the Side Switch isn’t set to silent. See Volume buttons and the Side Switch on
page 11.

way in.

Music on iPad might be paused. If you’re using a headset with a play button, try pressing the
play button to resume playback. Or from the Home screen, tap Music, then tap .
Check to see if a volume limit is set. In Settings, go to Music > Volume Limit.
If you’re using the line out port on the optional iPad Dock, make sure that you turn on the
external speakers or stereo, and that they’re plugged in correctly and working properly. Use
the volume controls on the the external speakers or stereo, not on iPad.
If you’re using an app that works with AirPlay, check to see if the AirPlay device you’re sending
the sound to is turned on and the volume is turned up. If you want to hear sound through
iPad’s speaker, tap and select it from the list.
