Again, thanks for the prompt reply.

I've checked passthroughs and cycled through all the passthrough output devices.  Wound up putting it back on Alsa:default.  Do I need to close mythtv or should these setting take effect immediately? Nothing I'm doing is making any difference.  

I looked at the keyboard shortcuts and can't find anything applicable.  Volume is set at 100% on master and pcm in mythtv settings, (system volume is controlled by master), mute is off, I can't find anything else simple that looks as if it applies.  

When it stopped playing, I did not have the remote in my hand - it was sitting on the arm of the chair next to me.  I am having a hard time believing I did anything to kill it, but I'm at a loss to get it working again.

And as I said, everything else works just fine.
