I don't know why this occurred, perhaps an update in Facebook ... or elsewhere. I was listening to Spotify (which is locked to always be open) and I opened Facebook. The music stopped immediately even though there was nothing in particular that was displaying in Facebook.
I Googled ... Facebook turns off music in Spotify ... or something like that. I tried what was suggested but that didn't initially work. I went to Settings / Apps / Facebook ... and Forced stop and Storage - Clear cache.
That was it, that problem was then solved.
The path in Facebook to turn off Autoplay is buried. Facebook / three lines top right (hamburger) / scroll down to Settings & privacy / Settings / Preferences - Media / Never Autoplay Videos - enabled. (I also disabled Videos start with sound.)
No need to reply.
