  If your LG Speakers have no sound or the sound is distorted, it could be due to several reasons. First, check if the volume on the unit or your smart device is set to the minimum and adjust it accordingly. If you are using an external device at a high volume, try lowering the volume to improve the sound quality. Also, be aware that using the unit for purposes other than listening to music may lower the sound quality or cause the unit to malfunction.
