Sound of setter filling puzzle up for speaker (9)
I believe the answer is:
subwoofer
'speaker' is the definition.
(type of speaker)
'sound of setter filling puzzle up' is the wordplay.
'sound of setter' becomes 'woof' (setter is a type of dog).
'filling' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'puzzle' becomes 'rebus' (I've seen this before).
'up' is a reversal indicator (in down clue: letters go upwards).
'rebus' reversed gives 'suber'.
'woof' placed inside 'suber' is 'SUBWOOFER'.
'for' acts as a link.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
