Ipad Air 6th gen speaker

I bought a Ipad air 6th gen 13inch.

Listening to a song on my iPad, I noticed that the speaker on the bottom left doesn't work. The top left, top right and bottom right all work.

Is this normal?

Don’t be fooled by your iPad Air seemingly having four speaker grilles. Your iPad Air has only two speakers - not four as found in recent models of iPad Pro.

Recent models of iPad Air have one speaker at top and bottom - such that what viewed in Landscape orientation, you will have a left/right stereo pair.

You can verify and compare iPad specifications here:

As a point of interest, older models of iPad Air had two speakers on the bottom edge of the iPad - one placed either side of the Lightning port. For these models, with the iPad positioned in Landscape orientation, both speakers were to one side of the screen.
