iPad audio cuts out after viewing in-app advertisement.

Why, after viewing an in-game (or in-app) advertisement, will the original app’s audio source no longer function until the app is restarted (closed, then re-opened)? I’ve been through the Apple-recommended troubleshooting steps up to & including a restore-as-new, on multiple iPads, with no resolution.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 18

iPad loses audio after watching an ad (while playing an online game) I’ll load my game and start playing, audio works fine. Then I watch an ad, audio still working but when ad is over and it returns me back to the game, audio is out. Game still works fine, just no audio. Then, I watch another ad, audio comes back on for the ad but when it returns to the game, audio is out again! It gets really frustrating trying to play the game with no sound but when you watch an ad…sound for the ad. Anyone else out there sharing the same issue or know how to fix this?

iPad games lose sound after an ad Playing a game audio works fine. Then I watch an ad, audio still working in the ad, but when ad is over and it returns me back to the game, audio is out. Game still works fine, just no audio. Ad audio works consistently, but when it returns to the game, audio is off. ive seen dozens of posts on this and opened a support ticket. Of course the answer was “It’s just you…..check sound settings, delete game and reinstall (note-this happens in EVERY GAME), reboot iPad, update iPS (on the latest!) and factory reset. B/c they are too lazy to actually troubleshoot. with the hundreds if not thousands of people seeing this-which I explained to “Support “ a bug has to be/have been filed. But they will not do anything further. this is completely reproducible, at any given time. Hey Apple “Support “, support your customers.

If it only happens using a specific app, I'd notify this weird behavior to that app's developer/support team.

Use these instructions:--> How to contact an app developer – Apple Support (UK)
