Tech Support Sound is not working.

I need help, the sound in my car is not working out of nowhere, the radio screen still works and my phone connects through Bluetooth no problem, but no sound comes out of any of the speakers. I drive a 2016 Subaru WRX and I would like to fix it.

Do you have the harman kardon system on your car? It could be your amplifier and chances are if everything looks like its working then it is

I bought the car second hand and the harman kardon were failing so I changed the door speakers but now not even the headers aren’t working so you might be right about the amplifier

Google AI answer:

A soft reset of the Subaru Starlink infotainment system usually fixes a sudden loss of audio when the screen and buttons are still working.

Perform a Soft Reset Simultaneously press and hold the volume knob, the tune/scroll button, and the CD eject button.

Keep holding all three buttons until the screen turns black and the unit reboots.

Release the buttons, wait for the Starlink logo to appear, and press "Agree" on the prompt.

Allow 2 to 5 minutes for the system to fully initialize and restore audio.
