Do you have a question about the CAPELLA and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
blue tooth speakers not making any sound. It is connecting .
The Triangle Capella speakers may not be producing sound despite being connected due to several possible reasons:
1. Wi-Fi Connection Issue: The Hub requires a wireless Wi-Fi connection, and setup can be unreliable. If the Hub is not properly connected to Wi-Fi, audio may not transmit.
2. Hub Not Properly Set Up: The Hub must be paired and connected through the Google Home app. If setup wasn't completed successfully, the system may not function.
3. No LAN Port: The Hub lacks a LAN port, so it relies solely on Wi-Fi. Poor Wi-Fi quality or interference could affect sound output.
4. Input Source Issue: Ensure the correct input source is selected (HDMI, AUX, etc.) and that the source device is functioning and providing audio.
5. Muted or Low Volume: The volume may be muted or set too low on either the source or the speakers.
6. Connection Type: Bluetooth is supported, but USB drives are not. If trying to play from an unsupported source, sound will not play.
Checking these factors can help identify and resolve the issue.
