I have the Logitech Z333 speaker system which has worked mostly fine for the time I've had it.
Recently I tried to use it and found that there was no sound at all coming from any of the speakers (sub and side speakers). I've done the usual basic checks with cabling etc and its definitely nothing wrong with the way I've set it up.
The volume control unit still has the green power light come on when I switch it on. No sound whatsoever comes from the speakers though.
My suspicion is that a component inside has died, but I'm not sure how to locate it. I have a feeling it could be the part of the circuit that supplies power to the audio units as no power seems to be reaching them when turned on.
For anyone unfamiliar with this system, there are 3 separate PCBs, one in the volume control unit (switch on functionality and volume control), power supply PCB from mains, and an audio PCB which I believe handles all the audio signal components.

I work in electronics so I should be able to do soldering work myself but I'm completely unsure where to start looking without schematics etc. Any ideas how to fix this?

I've started checking individual ICs on board and voltages etc. When the power switch is off, the enable line has 4.9V on it but when switched on, this drops to 4.45V. Following this voltage round, it comes to this IC which I can't find the datasheet for:

Otherwise, these videos do a full break down of the system:
