Questions and answers
I have inherited a viva keyboard. it works with headphones but I can't get it to play without the headphones...can you help?
To get the Viscount Viva keyboard to play sound without headphones, you need to connect it to an external amplifier or speaker system. The keyboard does not produce sound on its own without being connected to such a system. Make sure to avoid connecting it to circuits with devices that create line noise, like motors or dimmer switches.
