Why is the volume too low or no sound from my Yamaha PSR-S970?
If the Yamaha Synthesizer's overall volume is too low or no sound is heard, first, adjust the master volume using the [MASTER VOLUME] dial. Ensure all keyboard parts are activated using the PART ON/OFF [RIGHT 1]/ [RIGHT 2]/[LEFT] buttons. Check and raise the volume levels in the BALANCE display. Verify the desired channel is set to ON. If headphones are plugged in, unplug them to enable speaker output. Also, confirm the Speaker setting is ON in the UTILITY menu: [FUNCTION] ? TAB [E] MENU 1 ? [J] UTILITY ? TAB [E][F] CONFIG 2.
