Mute switch?

My XE goes silent sometimes... when it does it, I just turn the volume up and the volume will increase from zero as if something has turned it all the way down. It happens to me maybe once a week or once a fortnight, and I'm not sure what causes it.
I don't have a physical mute button, and I don't remember seeing one in the menus.

Google "cosmic ray bit flipping" if you want to learn about actual poltergeists in electronics, it's very interesting and a bit terrifying at the same time.
Next time it does it, try just turning the volume knob up. Mine seems to be random but I think it tends to happen between drives, i.e. I'll pull into the garage with the music going, turn the car off, come back out the next morning and it's on 0. It doesn't happen often enough for me to know for sure though, so I'll try to remember to pay more attention to it for a while..

I tried that last night. It didn’t work. It was like the car had no speakers at all.
But this morning, the radio came on as soon as I started the engine.
