Maybe it only works for alarms etc? When I sample a song on iTunes, with button on silent mode, you can here the song normally.
 
Silent button on my Ipad2 isn't working. Anyone else have same problem?

I believe there is an option in the settings to switch the function of the side switch between mute on/off & orientation control. Check this setting - If it's set to the mute option then the switch may be faulty.
 
No, it's set to mute. But I may just change it to rotation lock. Would use that more. I didn't realize the mute only worked for notifications etc.
