Citroen C5 Audio System Failure

My 2013 Citroen C5 diesel's audio system is dead at 154789 km. Fuses and head unit connections are fine. I suspected the bass speaker, but that's not it. Any ideas before I get invasive?

Man, that sounds frustrating! My old Opel Astra did that randomly, then nothing. Did you check the auxiliary input? Sometimes the system gets stuck thinking something's plugged in and mutes the radio. Otherwise it might be the amplifier, no fun!

I visually checked the auxiliary input, but is that enough? How did you check yours on the Astra? Any specific tools or procedures?

To be honest I didn't do anything fancy, I just wiggled a headphone jack in and out a few times hoping it would "reset" something. It didn't work for me though. I ended up taking it to a workshop and they replaced the whole amp. Hopefully it's something simpler for you though!

I'm taking it to a specialist. They found a fault in the bass speakers, which will be 280€ to repair. I'll consider this done.
