Why does the speaker volume become muffled after the REDMI Pad 2 Pro was dropped into water?

If your REDMI Pad 2 Pro is accidentally exposed to water, the speaker volume may become muffled. This is because water entering the speaker cavity temporarily affects the propagation of sound waves. The device is IP53 waterproof, and this phenomenon is temporary. Once the water evaporates or the device is wiped dry, the speaker volume will return to normal and will not affect long-term use.
If you notice a muffled speaker volume during use, please refer to the following troubleshooting steps:
  1. Immediately remove the device from water and turn off the screen.
  2. Gently wipe the speaker and tablet surface dry with a dry, soft cloth.
  3. Avoid shaking or applying pressure to the device to prevent water from penetrating deeper.
  4. Allow the device to air dry in a well-ventilated, dry place.
  5. Ensure the speaker cavity is dry before normal use.
  6. Avoid operating the tablet in water or in high-humidity environments.
  7. If the volume does not return to normal or becomes abnormal after a long period of time, please visit the after-sales service center for inspection.
