I think this might be a (common?) fault in the LC. At least, the 2nd -hand one that I bought exhibited this problem. Very faint internal sound. I tried cleaning the contacts for the internal speaker.... no luck. But resting a huge heavy monitor on the case for a month or two somehow restored the connection... must have crushed the relevant contacts, somehow, somewhere, into life... the sound is back to normal now, even tho the monitor is no longer resting on the case...
