8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Mars Gaming MS1 speakers, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

- Verify the 3.5mm audio jack is fully inserted into the audio output port of your device.

- Confirm that the volume on your connected device (computer, laptop) is not muted or set too low.
- Test the speakers with a different audio source or device to rule out an issue with the original source.
- Distorted Sound:
- Reduce the volume on both the speakers and your audio source. High volume levels can cause distortion.
