My TV has one (don't know left or right) dead speaker. Don't know if the speaker or some other component is broke. I tried a zillion settings with software, new system installs, everything. In TV mode, only one speaker also. It is still kind of loud with music and but the boot chime is not very loud at all. Could this be a simple speaker problem? I have a service manual and I will take it apart and look but just looking for an opinion from fellow owners of LC 520/550/575 and TVs!

Could just be a speaker. If you can take it apart, I'd wager it's easy to replace. Just unplug it from the board and plug a new one in.

Use a pair of headphones, if the headphones sound funky in that one side, you have a bad power amplifier circuit. Otherwise, its the speaker. (highly unlikely unless physically damaged)

When playing music, I think I hear both speakers working. I don't hear all the instruments in the music, some are very quiet. Not limited to music, everything stereo. It seems there is a dead channel or something. It's going on 20 years old, in computer years that's what..2,000,000? Music on the Mac TV does sound..interesting
