I gotta say that the speakers on the PlayBook are great. Listening to my own music, youtube and slacker, makes it even better. Very enjoyable and impressed!
You guys are all nuts. I love the mono speaker on the back of my iPad2. Great for letting everyone else in the room listen to whatever I'm doing online!
I love my PlayBook speakers and I was getting great audio but I was starting up a video this afternoon and noticed there was no sound anymore. I checked and did everything:
Checked the volume, turned it up and down, muted and unmuted...
Restarted the device, shut down and wait 10 minutes and boot up, hard reset...
Turned Bluetooth on/off, WiFi on/off
Now even did a security wipe.
All I get is sound through the audio port with headphones or external speakers, but not the PlayBook internal speakers.
I tried the floor models for the ipad, xoom, and pb in a more than usual noisy best buy. PB was the only handheld which I could clearly hear. Not a huge deal for most people I think, but for me it helped to raise the platform from which i took the jump and decided to go with the pb.

Any thoughts?
You accidently muted the audio maybe, try holding the pause/play button and see if its back to normal.

Imagine if it had the Dre beats speakers built into it. Oh boy!

I have notice at times that my left speaker is the only one producing sound. I have restarted the PlayBook and plugged it into DM. After doing that, the PlayBook will play audio out of the right speaker for a while (30 min or so). The right speaker will then go out again. I have wiped the device and started fresh with apps, with no luck on fixing the problem.
The big Question... is this a "bug" in the software version (running .1710), should I exchange for new device.

Please help of you can!
my suggestion would be to exchange it. If this were a bug, more users would be piping up about it. Either call RIM and find out, or take it back and exchange

I followed the proper channels and first called BB PlayBook Support and received a Trouble Ticket #, they then sent me to Tier 1 support, at that point there was no messing around, no round-about questions or unnecessary "Lets Try This" trouble shooting. Ashia's direct statement to me was "Take it back, that is a hardware issue and we will not be able to fix it".
