  If your LG Speaker System isn't producing sound, start by adjusting the volume to ensure it's not set to the minimum. Also, check if the mute function is activated by looking for the mute indicator or trying to adjust the volume level. If you are using an external device, check and adjust its volume, too. Finally, verify that you've selected the correct input source on your speaker system.
