Ipad volume button switch jammed

I started playing celtic heroes and noticed no sound was being produced. I tried to turn the volume up, but it turns out I can't because its jammed. I got a toothpick and tried to dig the button up (by dig it up i mean unjam the buttun so its back where its supposed to be and make it effective) from being jammed. Somehow that turned it up a little bit. I still can't access the button to where it is usefull. I tried the volume decrease part of the switch and that part worked. Basically the part to increase volume is just JAMMED.
I looked it up on the Internet and found that it seemed that nobody else had my EXACT problem. So no solution. I am 100% sure that it is a physical issue and has nothing to with a bug with the most recent updates. When I go to the default music app, the little in-app volume switch works, so again, it is a physical problem.
My question is, is there any safe way to get the switch unstuck? This is a serious problem, so I don't need anybody giving me crap. Any legit help is welcome.

If you get a set of headphones, just plug them in and play and the music will come on but not the sfx

I'm playing with headphones. I don't see what that has to do with a broken button. :/ srry.

You can either:
-Go to a store and fix it.
-Get one of those headphones that you can change volume with (with that thin little lump on the cord where you can click up/down to change volume).

This volume button thing just happened to me. I saw the mentions of dents, but my iPad hasn't fallen, and it's in a Belkin case. I took the case off, and sure enough, the metal around the switch appeared to be slightly bent up toward the screen, pushing the screen just barely noticeably up. Using the side of my knuckle, I firmly massaged the screen over the switch downward, and managed to put it back in order. The little strip of metal is very flimsy. It was a simple fix for me.

You can also ajust the volume on settings, though its annoying going back and forth, you can do it
