How we repair your Built-in Speakers/Sound System
A built-in speaker or sound system uses in-wall and in-ceiling speakers wired back to a receiver or multi-room amplifier to play audio throughout a home. A built-in speakers/sound system relies on power supplies, circuit boards, connections and cabling, plus lamps or fans in projectors. A technician checks power, connections and signal path, then tests the lamp, fans, boards or drivers.

Common Built-in Speakers/Sound System problems we fix
What usually causes each symptom, and what our technician checks to confirm it.
Amplifier shuts off or goes into protect mode
- Likely causes
- A shorted speaker wire, too low a total impedance on one channel, or overheating in a closed cabinet.
- What our technician checks
- Each speaker run is tested for shorts and the impedance load and amplifier ventilation are checked.
One room or speaker has no sound
- Likely causes
- A broken speaker wire in the wall, a loose terminal, a blown speaker, or a zone turned off at the amplifier.
- What our technician checks
- The technician tests the speaker wire for continuity, measures speaker impedance and checks zone output at the amplifier.
Streaming or app control dropping out
- Likely causes
- Weak Wi-Fi at the equipment rack, a network change, or outdated firmware on the streamer or amplifier.
- What our technician checks
- Network signal and settings are checked and the firmware is updated.
Distorted or crackling sound
- Likely causes
- A torn cone or surround, a speaker driven past its limits, or a loose connection at the speaker terminals.
- What our technician checks
- Each speaker is played alone at low volume and the driver is inspected after removing the grille.
Volume control in the wall does not work
- Likely causes
- A failed wall volume knob, wiring errors at the control, or impedance matching not set correctly.
- What our technician checks
- The wall control is tested in and out of circuit and its wiring and settings are verified.
Hum or buzz in the speakers
- Likely causes
- A ground loop between components, speaker wire run alongside power lines, or a failing amplifier.
- What our technician checks
- Components are disconnected one at a time to isolate the source and wiring routes are traced.
Quick checks you can do safely
- Confirm the correct input and zone are selected on the receiver or app.
- Check that the amplifier has power and is not showing a protect light.
- Make sure the wall volume control is turned up.
- Restart the receiver, streamer and network router.
- Turn the volume down before switching sources to protect the speakers.
