iPad has no sound after IOS 16 update

I am unable to hear anything on my ipad. It is not on mute. I have done multiple hard reboots. The volume is up and nothing is heard. There is no sound on keyboard typing, etc. Not sure what other steps can be taken at this point.


I'm immediately regretting upgrading at this point.

iPad, iPadOS 16

Thanks for the response. I did complete all the steps minus reporting the bug yesterday. Coming to the support forums was my last restort.


None of these steps helped me unfortunately.
