Adam audio system failure

My 2015 Vauxhall Adam (gasoline engine) audio system has completely failed. No sound at all. I've checked the fuses, and the head unit powers on, but there's no audio output. Mileage is 128060 km. Any ideas?

I had a similar issue with my Adam. Radio silence! Have you tried adjusting the volume or checking any audio connectivity settings? It might sound silly, but sometimes it's the simplest things. Any distortion or crackling before it went completely silent?

I've tried adjusting the volume and checked all the audio settings in the head unit menu - nothing. No distortion or crackling beforehand, it just cut out completely. Could a defective bass speaker really cause a total system failure?

Yes, that sounds very familiar. In my case, the bass speaker had shorted internally, which took the whole system down to protect it. I'd recommend taking it to a workshop to get it properly diagnosed. Could save you a lot of time and hassle in the long run.

I appreciate the insight. I took it to a local garage, and they confirmed it was indeed a defective bass speaker. Repair cost was 280€. All sorted now!
