Hi @datooooooo ,
Open the speaker and take a detailed picture of the broken knob. Most important is if it has any letters printed on it. Only with that information we would be able to find a replacement.
Alternatively, if you already figured out which part it is, we could help you to find a replacement part!

+Ummm unfortunately this is not enough to find a proper replacement.
+
+The R103 might mean 10 kOhm. Typically, the last number means the number of ceros you add to the first numbers, but this is not always followed by all manufacturers.
+
+Having a quick look in one of my fav distributors https://www.mouser.co.uk/c/passive-components/potentiometers-trimmers-rheostats/potentiometers/
+
+There's one that matches in shape and color: https://www.mouser.co.uk/datasheet/2/414/TTRB_S_A0009241252_1-2565491.pdf
+
+It sheems the metal shaft and the footprint are similar to the ones on the pictures. However, before you can conclude if this is a suitable part, there are other features on the potentiometer that needs to match with the one that you have: resistance, number of detents, if linear/log, etc...
+
+I also see that the potentiometers are wired and connected to the board? Can you confirm that?
+
+Besides, have you tried to turn on the speaker? Does it work electrically? I mean, has the knob broken mecanically, electrically, both?
+
+If the knob if only broken mecanically, and given that it’s hard to find a replacement… Have you consider fixing the knob instead of replace it? With a proper epoxy, it might look like new… https://www.jbweld.com/product/j-b-weld-syringe
