I can't get the buttons to work. Is there a trick? I can turn the volume up on my mp3 but not on the speaker, what can I do?

When using Bluetooth the controls on the transmitting unit (iPod, iPhone, etc.) override the controls on the speaker. I assume this is so you can control the volume remotely which would be a convenience. I haven't tried using the speaker with it connected via cable, but I suspect the volume controls on the speaker would work in that configuration. The "Mode" button is necessary for pairing and is operable.

This happened to me as well. Somehow I think they manufactured the speaker to actually install buttons that don't do a darn thing. My speakers buttons don't do nothing as well its jus not yours. Hope I was at least of some help.

Be aware that if you plug an audio source into the audio-in jack - the volume up/down buttons are disabled! In this case, the only way to control volume is via the audio source device (mp3 player, laptop, etc). This "feature" is not mentioned anywhere in the user manual and was an unpleasant surprise to me when I discovered it. I will be returning for a refund.

I have sometimes neeeded to re-establish the link but I have not been completely unable to do so. Reboot speakers and phone and try? Have speakers on before you start music app.

Not trying to insult your intelligence, make sure volume on the Zune is turned up and double check that it is not set on Aux. We love ours have had no issues,hopefully you will get it working correctly.

Thanks, Alex. This is very helpful. I'm feeling like this might work for me, and even if it doesn't, I'll still have an awesome mp3 player.-Rick

hi--yeah, I am seeing this as well, but I was able to press the "speaker" button and the sound comes back. it's really kind of frustrating, I am trying to figure out what to do about it as well.

U have to hold to button until it reaches the desired volume. Hope it works!!!

I just bought one, still running Android 2.1, and literally half of the buttons are currently working; play/pause and skip forward (not reverse). Volume up/down and skip back are all failing to work. Honestly, I don't care. These things sound amazing. I'm no audiophile, and have always laughed at those that get all nerdy about it, but I really could hear a drastic difference when I switched. Worth $100? Not to me, not really, but I'm sick of dealing with companies that do not back their products with some type of warranty or support. Hopefully Klipsch will solve that problem.

You need to hold the volume buttons to increase or lower the volume. Just pressing it will skip songs. If nothing changes when your holding it down then its probably not working.

Lol. That happened to me too. You need to plug in both the usb cable and speaker/headphone cable into the laptop for it to work. Additionally there's a volume control button on the cord itself. If you think that it's playing too softly, that's because the volume is not turned up all the way. Trust me it plays pretty loud for such small speakers.

Has anyone given thought to pressing "pause" on your mp3 player? Not a big problem for me.

Have you tried adjusting the volume? This thing works as plug-and-play. If it doesn't work the first time, it could have been factory defect.

Let me ask, do you have it on the charger? Because if you do, it will not play the flash drive. Just as a suggestion, return it while you can because it is very hard to navigate your music files and then mine simply got stuck on one song and wouldn't play anything else. Needless to say, I trashed it about a month after I got it.

Not sure what the problem could be. I've not experienced this with mine. There are six (6) buttons on the top of the item. The first two control the volume; one is plus and one is minus.

I can't help you there, mine connects just fine, but I hope you didn't format the MP3 player beforehand, I remember seeing something in the instructions booklet about it. I don't have personal experience with your error but I would refer to the manual for any troubleshooting of that sort.

ok it's plugged into my iPhone 6 now how do you get the speakers to turn on? I see the music is playing but nothing from the speakers. Not the best directions.

I have no problem playing my mp3. Sometimes those expensive phone players screw up a regular player-speaker. I have no problem with mine. The only problem I have is when my mp3 runs out of juice - then I just recharge and play over again.
