A:Answer When these speakers fail to have volume or do not play music, the Audio Chip has failed.
It has been a common problem with many Altec Speakers.
The chip is an easy replacement for any skilled tech person.
If in is interested, I offer this service for a reasonable price.
I will send instructions on disassembly and simply mail board to me.
Or mail the speaker, it is a lower cost when mailing the board only.
