Answer
I will need to know more about the audio system in your car to give a very intelligent reply. However, I suspect there is an external amplifier somewhere in the car - such as in the trunk area - that has failed.  The head unit in the dash of your car may be  working perfectly but if the audio amplifier is dead there is now sound getting to the speakers.  The amp may have gone into protection; it may need a new fuse; it may need a better ground, etc. There could be a shorted speaker wire or speaker somewhere that is causing the amplifier to go into arrest.

These are my ideas based on what you have given in your question.
