Depending on the song, there will be no sound from one of the speakers.

Hello.
The turntable is connected to the paired Five. Depending on the song, there will be no sound from one of the speakers. Is there any way to improve it?

What model turntable do you have? Have you tried connecting the turntable to the line-in port on the other Five?

Thank you for your reply.
It's a little complicated problem. Other records can be heard from both speakers. When I play a particular record, I can only hear it from one speaker, and then the other records can only be heard from one speaker. Occasionally, both speakers will sound, but most will only sound from one speaker. Other than vinyl records, such as Apple Music, can be heard from both speakers.

I think I would try another cable before you spend too much more time trying to fix this. 

Do you have any other device{s} you could play through the line in, for example a phone?

Is it always the same speaker that won’t play? Let’s call them A and B, and A is the left channel of your stereo pair. When you plug the turntable into speaker A, which doesn’t play? When you plug into B, which doesn’t play? Now reconfigure them so A is the right channel. Which now won’t play when plugged alternately into A and B?

I think the cable is fine. I checked the cable using the phone and tried another cable.

 

When I connect the speaker to the phone with a cable, the sound comes from only one speaker.

Thanks for the reply.

The speaker on the one I'm connecting the turntable to does make a sound. The speakers without the turntable are not sounding.

I took your advice and switched the left and right speakers, and now I get sound from both speakers. However, when I played a particular song from a particular record, the sound only came out of the speaker that was connected to the cable.

I think the problem is with the record.
