IPad Air No Sound in Apps and Games Solution

Control Center Settings
Because sound is a major factor in enjoying many mobile apps like (Candy Crush Saga, Fruit Ninja, Subway Surfers, Clash of Clans, Temple Run, Snapchat), discovering a lack of audio on an Apple device can be frustrating. The first step to take in troubleshooting iPad Air no sound in apps or games issues is to make certain the sound is not muted in the Control Center. It is easy to make a change to sound settings and then forget later. Users can check on this by swiping upward from the bottom of the screen to invoke the Control Center. It is also helpful to turn off Airplay and Bluetooth temporarily. This allows users to make certain there is not a device connected that is trying to play sound from the iPad. Checking do you have the latest iOS 9.0+.

Side Switch Settings
Long a source of confusion for a lot of users, the side switch is frequently at the center of sound issues with Apple devices, the iPad Air included. The problems are due to the side switch serving as both a muting function and a rotation lock. When a user faces an iPad Air no sound in games problem, the first thing to check is the status of the side switch. When the switch is used for a mute setting, this keeps sounds for alerts, keyboard clicks, notifications and games turned off. If sound is otherwise enabled separately for media, users might forget after moving on to other activities. In this case, they will later wonder why they have no sound in their games. Users can change the function of the side switch from Mute to Lock Rotation by going to Settings, and General.

iPad Air 2
Users with an iPad Air 2 will have somewhat different considerations when facing an iPad Air no sound in apps issue. Apple finally addressed the confusion over the side switch by removing it from the iPad Air 2. Users with an iPad Air 2 now use buttons in the Control Center to perform the functions previously handled by the side switch. This is where users look for mute settings. It is the first place to troubleshoot iPad Air no sound in games or apps issues on this version of the device.

Check is Headphone Mode On/Off
Once in a while, an iPad Air device is stuck in headphone mode when the user hears no sound from the speaker. When attempting to change the volume level after the headphones have been removed, the indicator sometimes still displays the headphones status. Most often, the issue is simply a little dust or a tiny piece of dirt. Blowing into the headphone jack or using a quick burst from compressed air will frequently fix this issue. Sometimes, plugging in the headphones and then removing them again a few times also dislodges remaining debris and allows a return to normal operation of sound.

Defective Speaker
Naturally, the solutions also include a reset of the device and reset of all of the settings. If all of the solutions for correcting the problem have failed, however, it might be necessary to have the device taken to an Apple store. If the speaker is defective, this is the only option for restoring normal sound when experiencing iPad Air no sound in apps or games issues. Most often, the speaker can be fixed without having to replace the entire device.
