Check cables, volume
- Check your speaker and headphone connections for loose cables or the wrong jack.
- Check your power and volume levels, and try turning all the volume controls up.
- Some speakers and apps have their own volume controls, and you might have to check them all.
- Try connecting using a different USB port.
- And remember that your speakers probably won’t work when headphones are plugged in.
