driver side speaker stopped working but works when I press Gong

Hi all,

A few days ago we got a used 2009 BMW 328i. Everything in tip top shape.  Today the driver side front speaker is not working.  I was worried that my son's friend blew the speaker out when he thought it would be funny to crank the volume up on a bass heavy song, but when I was messing around with the controls I noticed the speaker plays Music when I press the Gong button.  Any idea why that may be? 

Thanks for your help

    Hi Melissa....welcome to the Club

    I would firstly check the audio settings to see that nothing has changed with the levels and balance, then maybe adjust the balance to play the sound just through that speaker to see whether it is working. It may well be blown, but worth checking the output through it first.

    Let us know how you get on with it

    Cheers,  Trevor
