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.)
