If you use external speakers, check that the speakers are properly connected and the volume is turned up. If the speakers have
a mute button, make sure it is off. If batteries power the speakers, check that the batteries are inserted properly and that they
are charged.

If you have connected an audio cable to the headphone connector, disconnect the cable.
