Apple tablets and smartphones are usually very reliable and rarely need repairs. However, the iPad, like a tablet from any other manufacturer, is imperfect, and various problems may occur in its operation. One of the most annoying and often common is the lack of sound from the speakers or headphones. After analyzing user complaints, we can come to the conclusion that all problems occur under similar circumstances.

A very common problem for iPad users

If you have lost sound on your iPad, do not rush to service it. Why? In 90% of cases the problem occurs at the software level. In today's material we will tell you what to do when the sound on the iPad disappears. We will look at the most common causes and offer effective solutions.

Starting with iOS 5, the Siri voice assistant has become an integral part and practically the calling card of all Apple mobile devices. On all the latest devices, including the iPhone and, the function has begun to occupy one of the most important places, and with each new version the quality of work is improving. To activate the voice assistant, you need to press the Home button, wait for the assistant menu to appear, and say a voice command. To do this, the device must have a working Internet connection, since all requests are processed on a remote server.

Starting with iPhone 6s and iPad PRO 9.7 inches, Siri can work at any time, even when there is no Internet. To access the function at any time, just say: “Hey Siri.” But here there is a small discrepancy: by default, the “Face to the Floor” function is enabled, which disables the ability to activate the screen when a notification arrives when the device is lying face down. On the one hand, this allows you not to wake up the phone when each notification arrives, which can be significant if there are a large number of them, but on the other hand, you will also not be able to hear the response from the Siri voice assistant, since its menu will not be able to launch.

The way out of the situation suggests itself: you need to disable this function, or do not turn the tablet face down, and also disable the voice activation of the assistant if the “Face the Floor” function is very necessary. But since the last two options are not the best, let's see how to properly deactivate the "Face on the Floor" function.


Alternatively, check to see if you have silent mode activated. If it is active, disable it. This can be done by simply adding volume using the mechanical buttons on the side of the tablet. In addition, try manually setting the default voice assistant language by going to Settings - General - Accessibility - Voice Over - Speech - Default dialect.

There is no sound in applications, and sound notifications do not work

Many users who installed updates to iOS 9 and iOS 10 complain that sound notifications about received messages and video calls do not work, and that the sound in programs and games does not work. The reason is clearly software, so let's try to figure out what you can do in this situation.
