Hi, after doing a bit of googling it occurs to me that the internal speaker is ONLY for the metronome / click & not for the drum sounds themselves. You will need headphones or some external audio gear like your hi-fi system or oth r amp & speaker. I found this "The pad has 54 sounds in it (covering all parts of the drum kit but mostly snares), which are triggered when you hit the mesh head, but these can only be heard over headphones. The built in speaker is only used by the metronome sound (when there are no headphones attached) and then it only has a beep sound attached to it. However, plug in headphones and you get a variety of available click sounds including a proper ticking clockwork metronome." Hope that helps a little? Good Luck :-)

Is there a way to replace the settings key pads?

These pads can be replaced ( providing Casio still have spare parts ) There are a lot of screws to undo to get inside the keyboard, then remove any PCB above the pad, replace and reassemble.

Contact your nearest Casio service centre

The ACMP function doesnt work when I play, even tho it says it is on in the display window

Check you have selected 'sync start'. The ACMP selection activates the automatic chords but not the rhythm, so each note produces a droning chord. Sync start activates the automatic chords and rhythm you have selected when you play anywhere near the bottom end of the keyboard. Alternatively you can manually press play to start the drums by themselves and then the chords will begin the moment to play with your left hand.

How do i adjust the drum rhythm volume so it is louder than the tone settings

You ay have to edit a rhythm and save it as a "user defined rhythm". During editing the volume of each part can be defined with vol. level ranging from 0-127.

Please read the manual.
Metronome volume can be easily changed by just holding the metronome button.

No pad sound

Not sure what module you're using this with, but I'm familiar with Roland electronic drum pads and modules, and guess the following would stand true for any pad / module combo....
I would check the following:

Is the cable correctly connected at the pad?
Is the cable correctly connected at the module?
Is the module sound turned up?
Are your headphones / speakers turned on & up
(do other pads sound)?
Is the fader for the specific pad (or pad group) turned up?
(On a Roland module, where the pad is AUX1 to 4 - the 'fader' button needs to be pressed in order to operate the AUX slider).

The next couple of things are less likely, but possible.
Does the pad have a polarity switch on? - try switching it.
Has he correct pad type been assigned in the module?
Has an instrument been assigned to the pad
(Roland: Press INSTRUMENT, hit the Pad, select a sound)

If you get no joy with this - please drop me a message.

I have an electric triggered bass drum pad, and it will not trigger the sound through the machine unless I practically slam the pad the model is a KP65 bass drum pad, on a yahmaha DTXpressIV

Test the pad driving a different sound... If the pad is weak, the sensor probably came loose in it... They are a piezo disc usually like in older musical cards.

Some of the triggers have an adjustment pot that is very tender... ALSO there usually is a setting in the machine for sensitivity.

If this has just gone bad, it is likely the sensor came loose... repairable if one opens the pad...

I hit a pad and it plays a sound thats not assigned to the pad

The link to the manuals is here:http://www.akaipro.com/contentmgr/showdetails.php/id/1115/tt/5 According to the quick start manual you can assign different sounds to different pads and change them in the Program mode. See p.6 in the quick start manual and p.78 in the operators manual. There is an update listed on the page I gave you. I hope this helps.
