Liquid damage is nearly immediate and permanent. Occasionally, one can get away with it if the liquid quantity was really low and that it did not completely penetrate the critical points of the electrical circuit(s). Your speaker has stopped working and that is a shame. There is nothing else that you can do but let the MacBook dry itself under normal ambient conditions. Leave it about 48 hours on your desk with the lid open and the computer turned OFF. Then try again and see if the speaker works.

If you believe that the MacBook Air's condition has gotten worse, when you turn it ON, then have it examined at the Apple Store or at an Authorized Service Center for further guidance.
