No sound coming from Apple Music app on Macbook Pro

Macbook Pro 14" M3 with Sequoia 15.3 (24D60)

Music files on my computer in my Apple Music library (not streamed) 'play' but no audio comes out. Audio works fine from other applications. Problem started yesterday seemingly randomly.

Per a chat with Apple support, I turned off 'Sound Check" under Settings > Playback in Music. No change.

Restarted the app, restarted the computer, and just now upgraded the OS from Sonoma to Sequoia. No change.

Before I spend any more time on chat, thought I'd see if anyone has had this problem and has a solution?

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.3

Streaming:

Is this a streaming issue? Or is it downloaded music you are playing? If you are streaming this, then check the volume in the speakers and audio system.
