No Sound?
If you are not hearing the sounds, then it is probably one of the following.
- The sound volume on your device might be turned too low or off
- The mute button on the side of your device might be activated and so your phone/ipad is muted
- Turn off your orientation lock (toggle the side switch) since this might also cause the audio to be muted even when you set it to lock the screen
- Update the new settings for your side switch
- Check the new Command / Control center in iOS 7 that you can activate by swiping up from the bottom of the screen. It also has a new volume control.
The adjustable option is found under “Settings” > “General” where you will find “Use Side Switch to:” which can now be set to either “Lock Rotation” or “Mute.”
Please double check the above. We have over 1 million users and I am not aware of any device where the sound does not work.
PS: If you are one of the lucky few to experience sound problems after checking the above… It turns out that I found another potential solution under a MAC forums thread, and that certain combinations of apps seem to disable sound, regardless of the fact that the settings are set appropriately. I went into settings, where the rocker switch controls rotation. I set the rocker switch to control sound, muted it, then un-muted it. Then I did a system reset (home button plus on/off button on top of iPad simultaneously and hold until see Apple Logo appear, disregarding any interim screens which appear, including welcome screen).
