This guide will show you how to replace the speakers in the HP 15-ay078nr laptop. The speakers produce sound from your device. This is useful for video meetings, watching movies, listening to a podcast, or notifications such as receiving an email. If no sound is playing, first unplug all external connections to make sure the sound isn’t being rerouted elsewhere. If there is still no sound, see if your speakers need to be replaced here.
Before you begin, make sure nothing is obstructing the speakers that may be blocking sound from going through. Once it is determined that the speakers should be replaced, power off the device prior to beginning the replacement.
