Time to open it!Īll screws are visible and you'll have to take off a few (more than a dozen). Others have had this issue before ( Gearslutz, Korgforums, but most people in this forum seemed to find that it worked for them if they cleared out the debris from the headphone jack socket. When a plug has been put in place, the signal to the speaker is interrupted and the sound will instead go through the headphone. The problem was this: When the headphone jack is in an unplugged state, there should be sound coming out of the speaker on the bottom. While it was on my desk, I decided to crack it open and see what everything looks like. I had stayed away from fixing it for a while, but then thought about hooking it up to check out the waveforms on my oscilloscope.

More importantly, it was just frustrating to me that it didn't work. It's also nice to have an alternative speaker when you're messing around with it. It's a terrible speaker, but it's kind of handy to have when you're just playing with it as a portable device.

I had this Volca Bass for about a year when the internal speaker on it stopped working.
