  If there is no sound coming from your LG Speaker System, first ensure that the volume isn't set to the minimum. If it is, simply adjust the volume. Also, if you're using an external device like a set-top box or Bluetooth device, check and adjust its volume level. Make sure the mute function isn't activated by pressing the mute button or adjusting the volume. Lastly, verify that the correct input source is selected.
