  Kayla CaldwellAug 5, 2025
  If your Akai Speakers produce no sound, ensure that the source (Tablet, Mobile Phone, Laptop) is turned on, the speaker is turned on, and the volume is properly adjusted on the source. Also, verify that the media is playing and not paused on your source device. If these steps do not resolve the issue, try turning the speaker on, adjusting the volume source, and playing media from the source.
