I believe some Dakotas have a separate power amp for the speakers, especially the higher-trim models. If the radio is working, but no sound, there may be an issue with that amp if you have one. But as pilotsmack mentioned, fuses would be the easy place to start first...See if there's a fuse in the panel for the amp, and confirm if blown.
