Hi Treneedy,
We'll be glad to help you out. If your device is detecting you have headphones connected when you do not, we'd recommend first restarting your iPad to see if that resolves the issue.
Steps to do that can be found in Restart your iPad - Apple Support
"How to restart an iPad without a Home button
- Press and hold either volume button and the top button until the power off slider appears.
- Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.
- To turn your device back on, press and hold the top button until you see the Apple logo."
If you still have issues after that, we'd recommend reaching out to Apple directly, as your device may require service: Get Support
Cheers.
