Can anyone help my ipad 4 regain its sound?

I have done a hard reboot, changed language, signed out of game center, checked mute button, cleaned connection port with toothbrush.
I see that sound is capable when I change the volume in settings.
But all videos, music, games, and system sounds will not make a sound.

Any other suggestions?

Go to Settings → General → Reset, and then select "Reset All Settings" to see if that helps.

No luck resetting a settings, (although now I have a slew of work to get all settings back and running).

I note that when I swipe up, the only options for sound are Apple TV and headphones.
The ipad sound option is not there. Why not? Cannot figure it out.
Apple is usually so logical.

ANY FURTHER THOUGHTS?

Is your iPad somehow connected to your headphones without you knowing / realizing it? The reason I ask is because the only way for the headphones to appear via the Control Center is if they are currently connected. If so, a check mark should appear next to it. Once the headphones are removed, then iPad should appear as an option. If your headphones are not currently connected, you have lint, dust or other debris in the headphone port. Try blowing it out.

It will even 'detect' a headphone if you only have an adapter in it for instance.
