Just FYI
I have iPad Air 2 (no physical mute) and haven’t experienced alerts coming through when I have the “Ringer and Alerts” slider all the way down in settings.
Also not experiencing this on iPhone X.
iOS 11 or 12.
Got a tip for us?

It happens in the Tweetbot app and ******* on Safari & other websites/apps that don’t use the default video player.

Have you tried the mute button in control center? Sorry, my iPad isn’t around at the mo and I’m not too familiar with it. Probably stating the obvious but just wanted to try and help!
From memory you can’t actually turn ringer (notification) volume down to zero, the minimum is one bar, and then you have to use the mute switch
I most certainly tested it on all of those devices as well as on the iPad Pro 10 inch, iPad Mini 4, and 7+. It’s a bug.
Oh right, now we know why he’s so pissed that it didn’t mute.
Sounds like it probably mostly comes down to what was mentioned in an post earlier:

Lighten up. You’re experiencing a bug. You came here to vent. We can’t do much else. Raise a bug with Apple.
I couldn't hear anything on my X on iOS 12. Tried music, youtube and a video from the photos app.
I do however notice that if I unplug headphones even when nothing is playing I get a "pop" sound. I think the headphones are on even when nothing is playing.

This is not the issue. Question he is asking is, why his 1000$+ phone is not muting when it is supposed to?
Doesn't quite seem the rest given that there are some others that have mentioned coming across some similar type of things. And even if it's just the OP, that still means that something isn't right in OP's case.

I think he is trying to troll or something with his replies. Can't be to sure. But whatever he says makes no sense...
You mentioned that there was an issue with muting the phone. Does your phone mute or not?
Could have answered the question at the start by saying you don’t need help instead of continue this thread of answering questions with questions.
Seems like I did that with my question of why I would need help, (along with the thread itself where I didn't ask for help with this, where the poster that asked me about it has participated and in earlier as well). But with someone thinking that I did, I was also curious to find out what made them think that.
