Do you know what "a capella" means? No musical instruments. You don't "play" a capella, you sing it, and you need more than one person to create the illusion. Listen to the Maccabeats or Beatachon to hear what a capella sounds like. There are many opinions that a capella music is forbidden during avelus because it mimics instrumental music and thus defeats the purpose of not listening to music, but it may be acceptable to listen to drums only. AYLOR.
You could just sing Purim songs-- if you have male guests it would have to be limited to your menfolks singing-- but IDK if that's acceptable during avelus either. Your avel should ask his or her LOR.

Having recently finished aveilus (for the second time), I was told that if I’m allowed to be somewhere and someone else turns on music, it is not a problem. My kids turned on music in the car (or asked me to), in the house, and, yes, at Purim seuda. I wasn’t allowed to go to certain simchas because of the music, but no one else needed to restrict themselves because I was in aveilus.

You PLAY a capella when it is recorded. OP asked about playing it on speakers. She was clearly referring to playing previously recorded music, not getting people to sing live a capella.
