Check the Balance and Fader settings on the radio.

I did check that but it is not the problem ,they may be disconnected or do they have a separate fuse ??

Did you just buy this vehicle or have you had it a while and the other speakers just suddenly stopped working?

I also have a 2005 equinox whose speakers went. The radio and cd are working properly, but I get no sound. I did get bumped in the rear passenger side and it did happen shortly after that. I wonder if that is related. I have checked ail connections to the radio and they are fine. Don't know where to start from here. .

If you took a hit in the door jamb, the speaker wires may be shorted. This will cause the radio (or external amp if you have factory subwoofer) to go into protect mode (no sound output) until the short goes away.

If you have the factory subwoofer, then you should also check the fuse for the factory amplifier.

07 equinox I have tried everything suggested and still no sound from speakers. Changed my stock stereo for another stock stereo, changed amplifier for another stock amplifier, looked at all fuses, inside vehicle and under good. Still nothing. So frustrated. About ayear ago sound started sporadically cutting out, until it just got worse to apoint where there wad no sound at all? Any other ideas?

I'm thinking that your factory amp isn't receiving a turn-on signal.

The wire that provides the turn-on signal is the white wire located at pin 6 in the C1 factory radio plug and pin 8 in the C3 plug at the factory amplifier. Check for voltage on this wire at the amp. I believe you should get a reading of around 12 volts when the radio is turned on just like the remote lead on an aftermarket radio would provide, but I'm not 100% certain of this. If you get a reading near zero volts then obviously that's your problem, regardless of what the voltage should be. Please let me know what you find either way.

Did you also check the 25A fuse for the factory amp in the instrument panel fuse block?

I've posted links to wiring diagrams for the factory radio & amplfier below to help you troubleshoot the issue.
