You have tried using the sensitive touch buttons and they will not work.
Touch screens are very sensitive. They read any object that has electrical charge, which includes the human skin. The Touch buttons may not be responding due to a dirty screen. If you see any form of residue on your screen, you will need to clean it with a soft cloth to remove it.
Touch sensitive buttons work by recognizing any form of electrical charge. Your finger could have some residue on it which will then stop the buttons from recognizing the electrical charge. If there is food, dust or any other material on your finger, the buttons will not respond.
The touch sensitive button pad may be defective, therefore causing your buttons to not respond appropriately. You may want to consider replacing the pad.

If your speaker is not making a sound, fuzzy sounds or static sounds it could be that your speaker is damaged or has blown out. To fix this, you will need to replace the speaker for sound.
