Why is the overall volume low or no sound heard on my Yamaha Clavinova CLP- 785?
- D
  Diana CamachoAug 21, 2025
  There could be several reasons for low or no sound. The Master Volume might be set too low; adjust it to an appropriate level using the [MASTER VOLUME] slider. The keyboard performance volume might be too low; adjust the volume balance via the “Song” menu display: “Volume” ? “Song - Keyboard”. If headphones or adaptor plugs are connected when the Speaker setting is “Normal,” disconnect them. Also, check if the Speaker setting is “Off” and set it to “Normal” via the “System” menu display: “Utility” ? “Speaker”. Finally, ensure that Local Control is “On” via the “System” menu display: “MIDI” ? “Local Control”.

  The “Language” setting may be different than that is selected when you named the Song. Set the “Language” parameter via the “System” menu display: “Utility” ? “Language” ? “Song” to change the setting. However, if the Song was recorded on another instrument, changing the “Language” parameter setting may not resolve the problem.
