Troubleshooting audio issue

Question to those who already took delivery. Everything was working just fine the first day with google assistant and the audio. Then I came back home and linked up into my google account; since then impossible to get any audio at all, not even the radio… so weird! Did anyone encounter such an issue ? I tried multiple things to troubleshoot but nothing worked.

Audio issues appear to be the most common problems. Most report a radio replacement is needed. See here for what everyone is seeing...

Yes!!! I had the exact same problem. Worked great for about a week, then no sound at all. I had to do a full factory reset to get my speakers to work again. Now, I have to take phone calls on my actual phone like it's the year 2000! But, my radio works at least. EV concierge instructed me to go to the dealer. But, what are they going to do about a software issue? I made a negative review about Android Auto in the Google Play Store. We need to get the technical people to see this problem.

I took delivery on 6/14. My radio kept going in and out. We thought it was the stations. Then our gps wasn’t talking to us and I on star couldn’t hear us along with any other phone calls. I told on star if they can hear us to please call me at my phone number. The called me on the phone and told them exactly what was going on they said to take it the dealership.
if we had sound we couldn’t turn it up or down and if it paused the turn signals wouldn’t work. Then there were times that it didn’t work at all!
we took our car to the dealership on 7/7. They kept it overnight and did a software update and it’s fixed! We didn’t get home before it started all over again!! OMG! I’m over this.
The Cadillac CS called me to asked how was the service. Well the service didn’t work and that I dont like the car and I’m going to trade it in. I had a MB SUV and I should have kept it! Damn what a fool I am!

So this is an old thread, and the original audio issues mentioned have long been sorted with updated software - or in limited cases, a new radio. But this isn't the same problem for 2024 vehicles.

Sporadic audio issues crop up from time to time, but can be typically resolved just by rebooting the infotainment (hold hang-up button for 10 seconds). In cases where the radio doesn't play, I've also asked Google assistant a question, it responds, and then the radio audio returns. So audio still is a bit buggy, but not nearly the issue from early in the year with Debut Edition vehicles.

I took delivery of my 2024 Sport 3 on 1/12/24 and this happened to me last night. No audio from sound system or turn signals. I was quite upset to drive home for 35 mins with no sound in my new car! I did a google search this morning and found this forum and a couple of things to try to restore the audio. When I started the car this morning audio came right on without me doing anything. I have also noticed that it seems my whole display has "dimmed" sometimes. I usually have to restart the car to make that go away.
