Most Audio Only Plays Through Headphones

When I play music from the iPod (on the iPad), the music plays through the external speakers. All other sounds ONLY play through my headphones.

This happened recently. I thought that one of my game's audio settings were off, but discovered that they were fine. Then I put on my headphones and heard all of the game and keyboard sounds as normal. When I disconnect the headphones, I get no audio except for music from the iPod app.

I take my iPad to the gym and use the (wireless) headphones weekly. I wonder if maybe this usage caused a glitch. I rebooted it a couple of times to no avail.

I plan to go to the Apple store for a resolve, but thought I'd also share this here to see if I'm the only one this has happened to. And I mentioned the wireless headphones just to see if maybe that has something to do with it? I doubt it, but who knows?

Is the "muute" switch on, by any chance?

Today is the day that I lose my Tech Savvy card and pride all-in-one. But I guess it's better to look like an idiot online than at the Apple store.

*sigh* Yes, the mute button was on.

Thank you. I am leaving with my tail tucked between my legs now...

Yes, definitely check your mute switch and volume, the volume control for the speaker is separate from the headphone jack, it will remember the last setting for each.

I had a glitch with an app recently, sounds not working correctly. I tried power cycles and the whole bit. I gave up, connected it to power charger for the night, next day it was fine...no idea what happened. Maybe iOS 4 is glitchy still

I change cases every time I take it to the gym, so I must have accidentally switched it on. I didn't even know that it existed. Thank you both. I am very embarrassed, but happy
