No sounds
Got in my wife’s 2013 ES (nonML) this morning, turned on the radio - no sound, nothing. Visually, it seems to be working normally, but no sounds at all - no selection chimes when I page through menus, no music regardless of source, no sounds from Blue Tooth phone operations.
Any ideas? Fuse?
Thanks in advance.

Ok, so yesterday I spent a couple of hours researching this issue. Things I did:
Worked through all menus in the car’s infotainment system – toggling everything on and off.
Toggled the SOS button several times.
Pulled and verified pertinent fuses.
Removed the negative connection to the battery for about 2 hours.
Nothing – still no sound.
About 8:00 last evening, the dear wife said “You want me to take a look at it?” I said, “Yeah, sure, you go take a look at it…”
She wasn’t gone 2 minutes – came back in the house “All fixed!” I asked, “What the f--- did you do?” She said, “I just pushed a bunch of different buttons.”
Well, there you go – problem solved.

She may have discovered the little known audio MUTE features on the ES.
Arrow button above the radio tuning dial and the steering wheel mute feature. There is a thread titled "Discovered after 15 months the mute button" that has more details.

Maybe it was the battery disconnect that fixed it, but there was a delay? I only fussed with it a few minutes after reconnecting the battery - maybe it needed more time?

Naw, gonna put her to work fixing car stereos- $100/hr.
Actually, the car I was fussing with was her ex - Valentines Day I surprised her with a beautiful new F Sport. In the balance of payments, I’d say I’m owed... Though, I always say those credits have the shelf life of milk.
