What to do if my Monitor Audio ASB-2 have no sound?

  Tanya OwensAug 17, 2025
  If your Monitor Audio Speakers have no sound, start by checking the volume, source, and play/pause settings. Ensure the mains power lead is properly connected to both the ASB-2 and the wall socket, and that the wall socket is switched on. If the sound is noisy or crackling, the source might be set to bitstream; change it to PCM, as the ASB-2 requires the source to decode the sound track and send individual channels.

  If your Monitor Audio Speakers are nonresponsive, first check that the mains power lead is correctly connected to the ASB-2 and the power socket, and that the socket is switched on. If that doesn't work, remove the power from the ASB-2, wait for the standby LED to go out, and then reconnect the power. Also, ensure that the speakers are connected to the same wireless network as your device.

How to fix Monitor Audio Speakers unable to connect to the wireless network?
- E
  erinvegaAug 26, 2025
  If your Monitor Audio speaker is unable to connect to the wireless network, first verify that your Wi-Fi router is Wi-Fi 802.11b/g certified, as the ASB-2 is not compatible with N Class routers. If you have a Wi-Fi 802.11n router, ensure it is in 802.11b/g mode. Also, ensure your router is DHCP enabled, keep the speaker away from potential sources of interference like microwave ovens, and make sure the SSID name of the router consists of alphanumeric characters without spaces or special characters and is not hidden. Finally, check that there are enough spare IP addresses available on your router and that the speaker is set to work on Channel 1 - 11.

What to do if Monitor Audio ASB-2 have occasional breaking up of AirPlay music playback?
- P
  Paul EvansAug 28, 2025
  If you're experiencing occasional breaking up of AirPlay music playback on your Monitor Audio speaker, try moving the ASB-2 closer to your Wi-Fi router. Also, avoid using a Wi-Fi channel that overlaps with nearby Wi-Fi networks. If multiple devices share the same router, check if your network speed is sufficient and consider turning off other connected devices. If available, enable the Quality of Service (QoS) option on your Wi-Fi router. As a diagnostic step, turn off other Wi-Fi routers or range extenders to identify potential faults.

  If you are experiencing no sound or noisy and crackling sound from your Monitor Audio speaker, check the volume, source, and play/pause settings. Also, ensure that the mains power lead is correctly connected to both the speaker and the wall socket, and that the power is switched on at the wall. If the playback is very noisy or crackling, and the source is set to bitstream, change it to PCM.

  If the AirPlay icon is missing on your iTunes host device, ensure that the Monitor Audio ASB-2 speaker is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the host device. Sometimes, it may take up to 30 seconds for the ASB-2 to appear on the network, so allow some time for it to show up in iTunes.

How to resolve AirPlay connection failed with Mac or PC with Monitor Audio Speakers?
- M
  Michael KingSep 5, 2025
  If the AirPlay connection fails with your Mac or PC when using Monitor Audio speakers, temporarily disable the firewall and security software to check if they are blocking the ports that AirPlay uses to stream content. If the music play breaks or stops when using an iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad/Mac/PC for AirPlay, try restarting your iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad, or iTunes. Also, reduce the load on your router by stopping video streaming or FTP downloads, as they may overload it and cause interruptions during AirPlay music play.
