Turn on Fixed Position Volume Controls if you want the volume buttons to always have the same behavior. Turn it off if you want the volume buttons to change dynamically depending on the orientation of your iPad.
With languages that have writing that goes from right to left, you increase volume with the button on the left or top, and decrease volume with the button on the right or bottom. If your iPad has Rotation Lock on, the volume buttons will function based on the orientation that the iPad is locked to.
