iPad Pro M4 has quad speakers. When they go silent, it's often a software issue, not hardware failure.

Check the Mute Switch

iPad Pro M4 has a mute toggle on the side. If enabled, all audio is silenced. Flip it to enable sound.

Check Volume Level

Use the volume buttons to turn volume up to maximum. Check Control Center (swipe from top-right) to verify volume slider is maxed.

Clean Speaker Grilles

Dust blocks sound. Use a soft brush to gently clean the speaker openings on the edges of the iPad.

Force Restart iPad

On M4: Volume Up → Volume Down → hold Power for 10 seconds. Release Power (don't drag slider). Wait for Apple logo.

Reset Sound Settings

SettingsSounds & Haptics → verify Volume level is high and no silent/focus mode is enabled.

Test on Bluetooth Speaker

Connect to a Bluetooth speaker. If sound works via Bluetooth, the internal speaker is damaged. If no sound anywhere, it's software.

Speaker Repair

Cost: $150–$250 for speaker replacement. Requires opening the iPad and soldering new drivers.
