Wired headphones not working on iPad 9th gen but fine on iPhone

I have an Ipad 9th generation running latest ios 18.2.1, that the headphones have no volume, either through the headphone jack or through lightning adapter to the headphones.

The same headphones work fine, using the lightning adapter on my iphone SE3 …so, it’s not the headphones. In fact, I got a second headphone set, and they work on the iPhone, but not the ipad.

I have AppleCare+ on the ipad until Summer 2026, but am hoping there is a setting that I don’t know about?

Not sure why there was a problem when switching between headphones and the ipad speaker… but noticed that “it” would set the volume all the way down … when switching between headphones (jacking them in), thus the headphones would appear to be not to be working… because something kept turning the volume all the way down (VERY annoying.) I think this is the behavior of the ios?

Anyway, it seems that if you enable the headphone accommodations (see above screenshot) the issue stops occurring?

Problem solved. (fixed my own issue … HTH others.)
