iPad Muted iPad mystery

[Zeos]

My iPad Air 2 has suddenly been totally muted, speakers and headphones. I'm pretty iPad savvy and have checked what I think is all possible ways to mute the Pad... Do Not Disturb, volume switch, Sounds setting, not connected to a Bluetooth device, etc. Everything looks okay. Reset the iPad to no avail. Any other ideas before I bring it to the Genius Bar?

Try inserting headphones in the jack and then take them out.

Did you use the find my iPhone feature to force the iPad to make a sound? I believe that overrides any silence or volume setting, so if it still doesn't work it is probably a physical problem.

Good point. No sound from Find My iPad. Dead speakers apparently.

my ipad4 occasionally loses sound, a restart fixes it.
