Here's my story with these annoying issues so far:
I'm experiencing this problem since almost 2 years now on my 2019 M3P, it all started once I got my car back from a Tesla-authorized bodyshop after somebody hit my car in the rear right while parked (I had sentry disabled at my home, so sadly couldn't figure out who did it without any footage)
So I got my car back, cosmetic damage fixed pretty much perfectly, but after I noticed the audio issues, I took it straight back to the bodyshop, they checked it out and re-plugged all the relevant connectors (or so they say), but to no avail.
So I booked a visit at my SC, but literally 1 day before the appointment it decides to randomly start working again and continues to do so.
Fast forward to last year, entire audio keeps cutting out with a periodic popping/crackling sound every now and then, but only for a few seconds. After the popping noises, all the speakers connected to the rear amp stop working, sometimes for a few seconds, sometimes for a few minutes, or even days, but always came back on.
For unrelated issues I booked another appointment at the SC, included the audio problems in the report though. Since everything was working fine for the period the car was at the SC and the mechanics couldn't reproduce the issues I was having, I was sent on my way again, my audio still being broken.
Fast forward to this current week, the car is starting to have the same issues again, this time very severely. Currently over a week with only dash audio and its bugging me really bad. So I have another SC appointment next week, I just hope the issue persists until then so they can finally debug and fix it.
Today I also tried disconnecting the 12V battery completely, following the MPP tutorial that @TFSMotorsport linked, re-plugging the connectors on the amp while fully powered off, but that did absolutely nothing.
Based on the various posts/threads in this as well as other forums, I suspect the amp is fried now, but I have no idea why it kept working for so long and then dying again. I saw absolutely no correlation between software versions, temperature, doing a touchscreen reboot (with or without brakepedal pressed), or the recent 12V hard-reset. Literally nothing I tried was able to directly restore the audio, it was always completely random.
