iPad Pro Speakers Not Working? Here’s How To Fix The Problem

Last Updated: May 28, 2022 by Kevin Shaw

Is the sound not working on your iPad Pro? Have your iPad Pro speakers stopped working? If your iPad Pro speakers are not not working, here’s what to do.

Has your iPad Pro gone silent? Is there no sound from the internal speakers? If your iPad Pro speakers stopped working, we have the answers.

If the sound has stopped working on your iPad Pro follow these steps to help you get your iPad’s internal speakers working again. We explain what to do if your iPad Pro speakers have stopped working.

Why are my iPad Pro speakers not working?

There are many reasons your iPad Pro speakers may be having issues, but here are some common causes behind iPad Pro speakers not working:

  • Physical or liquid damage
  • Bluetooth issues
  • Headphone glitch
  • Airplay is connected
  • Silent mode is turned on
  • Dirty or blocked speaker port
  • Software malfunction

Ways to fix iPad Pro speakers not working issue

Here are some tips and fixes you can try if your iPad Pro speakers are not working:

Turn The Volume All The Way Up

Before we go any further, make sure that the volume on your iPad Pro is all the way up. You or someone else may have just accidentally muted your iPad!

To check the sound volume:

  • Unlock your iPad and hold the Volume Up button to raise the volume level.
  • You can also use Siri by saying, “Hey Siri, turn up the volume.”

If you want to turn up the Ringer volume as well, go to Settings -> Sounds and haptics and turn on the switch next to Change with Buttons.

Disconnect Bluetooth Audio Devices

It’s possible your iPad Pro is connected to a Bluetooth device, such as headphones, a speaker, or car. It’s also possible your iPad Pro is connected to an AirPlay device, like an Apple TV. If your iPad Pro is currently connected to any wireless device, it’s possible that device is playing the sound, rather than your iPad speakers.

You can disconnect all wireless devices by opening the Control Center and tapping the Bluetooth icon. To disconnect devices individually instead, head to Settings > Bluetooth.

Once the Bluetooth devices are disconnected, try to play audio from your iPad’s speaker again.

Check that your iPad isn’t stuck in headphone mode

It’s possible that your iPad is “stuck” in a mode in which it thinks it’s playing audio, but it’s sending it to a device that isn’t connected, like earbuds that aren’t plugged in or a Bluetooth device that isn’t turned on.

Here are a few things you can try to “wake up” your iPad’s audio connection so it’s working properly:

  • Plug earbuds into your iPad Pro and remove them again to coax the device into recognizing there are no earbuds plugged in.
  • Make sure you’re not connected to another audio device by swiping down on the upper right side of the screen to display the Control Center. Then tap the Airplay icon in the music pane – it looks like a triangle with three circles – and if anything other than the iPad is selected, choose the iPad.
  • Enable and disable Airplane mode by tapping the airplane icon in the Control Center.

Water Accident? Let It Dry

One of the most common consequences of water damage on your iPad is a malfunctioning speaker. The liquid can quickly make its way to the internal component linked to the open grills. So if you’ve had speaker issues on your iPad Pro after such an accident, let your device dry off.

There are several methods to dry a wet iPad. You can blow hot air into it, dump it in a bowl of rice, and more. Whatever you do, turn your iPad off immediately and let it completely dry before trying to boot it back up.

Repair The Speaker

If your iPad Pro speakers still aren’t working after trying the above solutions, you’ll probably have to get them repaired. You can go to Apple’s support page and make a Genius Bar reservation to have someone look at them in person.

iPad Pro Speakers Not Working? These Fixes Should Have Helped!

With these possible fixes, you should hopefully be able to revive your iPad Pro speakers if it’s just a software bug.
