Playback Sound stopped working, MacOS 12.6.3

[Johnn]

I am long term user of Audacity - currently, 3.3.3. Today part way thru a playback, all sound dropped out. Sound preference checks and levels all correct for use with internal speakers on MacBookAir - dual core intel i5.
sound meter active in playback, but nothing comes thru audio.

Any help appreciated.

@Johnn

sound meter active in playback

Yes. Check the level settings on the playback sound meter - a fairly recent addition - you may have bumped it.
