Introduction
If your Archos 97 Carbon tablet speakers are malfunctioning, follow this guide to replace the speakers. Before starting this process, it is important to remember to check a couple of things first. If your device is having volume problems, you should first check to see if the volume button is stuck, and if not, go to settings>sound/volume, and manually adjust the volume length. If neither of these fix the issue, then follow this guide.
