where can i locate a replacement loud speaker?

Mick Mul -

Ive taken my speaker out and tested it, its fine

Its a software or dac chip issue.

Chris Foure -

Agreed , my speaker is muffled , ive just disassembled and want to test the speaker .

And... Yes ive reset thr device etc many times.

Chris Foure -

I think I have the same muffled speaker issue. This unit has also had on-and-off problems with signal reception and understanding commands. I should have returned it to Amazon right off. I've been tempted to fix it with a sledgehammer.

deltapark -

I have the same issue with mine. Just cuts out when playing music. To day I just ran her usly I bt to the radio. The speaker sounds blown. Just crackels
