Quick and Simple Guide to Fixing Bluetooth Speakers at Home

Consider replacing your charging cable with a new one, then fully charge the battery and check if the speaker responds. When replacing the cable, opt for an authentic one to ensure the safety of the speaker during charging.

Temporary battery depletion in Bluetooth speaker

This situation often occurs when you leave the Bluetooth speaker unused for a long time. To address this issue, simply plug the speaker in for about 3 hours before turning it back on. If the speaker still doesn't power up, take it to a repair shop to have the battery jump-started.

Bluetooth speaker with a faulty battery

The best approach is to purchase components and a battery to replace in the Bluetooth speaker. However, if you're unsure or lack expertise, the best way to fix a Bluetooth speaker is to take it to a repair service to assess the speaker's condition and replace the battery properly.

Bluetooth speaker with circuitry issues

Symptoms of circuitry malfunction include the Bluetooth speaker being chargeable but unable to power on. This suggests potential damage to the internal circuitry.

In this case, you may disassemble the outer casing of the speaker and inspect the internal circuitry for damage. However, it's best to take the speaker to a repair service to avoid improper disassembly, which could affect other components.

Causes and solutions for a crackling Bluetooth speaker

If your Bluetooth speaker suddenly crackles, check the music file being played and any Bluetooth-interfering devices nearby. Additionally, crackling may result from low battery, damaged diaphragm, or faulty components.

Check the music file quality

Crackling in a Bluetooth speaker can sometimes be due to very poor music file quality. Verify the file quality and switch to a new music file with at least 128Kps quality. If the crackling persists, try disconnecting and reconnecting the power, restarting the speaker, and replaying the music file.

Check for interfering devices

Bluetooth signals are often interfered with by devices such as Wi-Fi routers, USB 3.0 devices, microwaves, refrigerators, etc. If your speaker is placed near these objects, relocate it and check if the crackling persists.

Simultaneously, narrow down the distance between the speaker and the music source device. Sometimes, excessive distance weakens the Bluetooth signal, causing audio interference or lowering volume.

Check the battery of the Bluetooth speaker

The most common cause of crackling in Bluetooth speakers is low battery. In this case, simply check the speaker's battery and fully charge it. Note that you should not use the speaker while it's charging to avoid battery damage.

Check the speaker diaphragm and components

A torn diaphragm is one of the reasons why a speaker crackles. In this case, carefully inspect the diaphragm and take the speaker to a reputable repair service for warranty. If it's a component fault inside the speaker, the best course of action is also to have it serviced under warranty. Structural speaker issues are often difficult to repair at home.

Causes and solutions for Bluetooth speakers with no sound

There are various reasons why a Bluetooth speaker may have no sound. For instance, the speaker might be mistakenly connected to another Bluetooth device, the audio source volume may be low, Bluetooth support services may not be enabled, etc.

Bluetooth speaker mistakenly connected

At the same time, Bluetooth speakers can connect to multiple devices, leading to mistaken connections. In this case, follow these steps to reconnect to the desired device:

Step 1: Turn off the Bluetooth speaker and disable Bluetooth connections on all devices.

Step 2: Turn on the Bluetooth speaker again and enable Bluetooth connection on the device (which could be a phone or computer).

Step 3: Check the name of the Bluetooth speaker connected to the device and ensure the correct connection to the speaker. Then, try playing a music file and check if the Bluetooth speaker still has no sound.

Audio source set to low volume

If the Bluetooth speaker has no sound, also check the volume level of the audio source (such as a phone or computer). If the audio source is muted or set to a very low volume, adjust it accordingly and check the speaker's audio.

Bluetooth support service not enabled

Sometimes, the reason and solution for Bluetooth speaker issues are very simple. The reason could be that you forgot to enable the Bluetooth function on your computer or phone, resulting in no sound from the speaker. Follow these instructions to enable Bluetooth support service:

Step 1: Press the Window + R keys and type “services.msc” into Run, then click “OK”.

Step 2: Select “Bluetooth Support Service” to open the Bluetooth service customization window.

Step 3: In the “Startup Type” section, select “Automatic”; in the “Service Status” section, select “Start”. Then, simply click “OK” and “Apply” to finish. Now, try reconnecting to the Bluetooth speaker and check the audio.

Easiest way to fix Bluetooth speakers not connecting

This is the most common issue when using Bluetooth speakers and connecting to computers, phones. However, the solution to this problem is quite simple, you just need to perform the following 2 steps:

Step 1: Turn off Bluetooth connection on both the device and the Bluetooth speaker, then turn them back on.

Step 2: Reconnect the Bluetooth speaker to the audio source device as usual.

If after performing the above 2 steps the Bluetooth speaker still won't connect, you should turn off the speaker and the device, then restart them and repeat these 2 steps.

Fixing a Bluetooth speaker not charging

If the Bluetooth speaker is not charging, the main reasons are battery depletion or a broken charging cable. If it's the charging cable, simply replace it with a new one. But if the speaker's battery is depleted, the speaker may experience the following issues:

• Longer charging time: The Bluetooth speaker takes longer to charge than usual.
• Shorter usage time: Your speaker may only operate for 3-4 hours while the original battery life is 8-10 hours.

In this case, you can purchase a new battery and replace it yourself. However, the best option is to take the speaker to a reputable service center for inspection and safe battery replacement.

Fixing a Bluetooth speaker with a dented membrane

This issue typically doesn't affect audio quality much but can be bothersome due to aesthetic concerns. The solution to this problem is quite simple and can be done at home.

Specifically, you just need to use a vacuum cleaner or use wax candles. Burn the wax candles and place them in the dented area on the speaker. Leave the wax in that area for about 15 seconds until it dries, then pull it out. When pulling out the wax, do it gently to avoid tearing the speaker membrane or affecting the components underneath.
