    1. Turn off the audio device.
    2. Make sure that the speaker wires are properly connected to both the speakers and audio device.
    3. Turn off any nearby electronic devices that may be interfering with the speaker sound.
    4. Move the speaker wires away from any electrical cords.
    5. Try to play from a different source.
    6. If the issue still occurs, reset the device to the factory default settings.
