With magnets. There’s a coil of wire in a speaker, and when electricity passes through it it turns into a magnet, just like the ones they use to pick up cars in a scrapyard. The magnet pulls another magnet towards it or pushes it away, depending on which way the electricity is going, and then the second magnet is attached to a big paper cone so that it pushes and pulls a big chunk of air along for the ride. Since sound is just chunks of air moving around, that’s the whole thing working now.
