Chances are audio amp/IC that drives the internal speakers is faulty. Read in forums, it is common in these sets as they use very cheap, low powered amplifier IC's that generally heat up and fail. The IC is located on the mainboard, and requires the board be replaced. You can google search your make, model#, main board to get a price on replacement board and also how to replace board to see if is cost effective to do repair. If not comfortable doing the repair, have a good TV tech. have a look, diagnose and estimate repair. Good luck.
