      If both of your Bose speakers are not playing or the sound is distorted, try reconnecting the speakers to another amplifier or receiver that you know is working correctly. This will help determine if the issue lies with your current amplifier or receiver.

      If one of your Bose speakers isn’t working or sounds defective, there could be a few reasons. It might be due to a defective speaker cord, in which case, if switching the speaker cords makes the problem move to the other speaker, the original cord is faulty. Alternatively, the speaker itself could be defective, or there might be an issue with the receiver or amplifier channel. If the speaker still doesn’t work after swapping cords, it's likely a problem with the speaker itself, and you should contact Bose or your retailer for service. If the speaker now works after swapping, the issue is likely with the original amplifier channel, and you should try using a different receiver.
