Good morning Scott,

Welcome to the forum, as there been any electrical work done the car which may have disturbed, broken any wiring relating to the radio etc.

Can you confirm the mechanic used Diagbox to check the radio etc functions ?

Otherwise I would get my mulimeter out and check continuity of the wring. ie the speakers.

Other members will be along with their thoughts and it maybe worth checking the audio section on the site as well

Thanks for your reply yes he used diagbox which said there was no faults ,he suggested getting an update disc from Citroen to try that but said there should be something coming out the speaker's but there's nothing he suggested it might be 1 lose wire on one of the speaker's but trying to access all the speaker's

Does it have an aftermarket handsfree kit fitted?
If I remember right ( may be model specific though) you can do a beep test on each speaker with diagbox, do you know if this was done?

does anyone have a wiring diagram of the audio system?
It's unusual to get no sound from any speaker and it suggests something common like an external amplifier (some C6's has a JBL amp) or head unit.

Really need to know more about the spec., configuration and a wiring diagram to make suggestions on how to approach troubleshooting.

I'll need your VIN for wiring. Put it up here and it will be masked automatically when you submit the post.
