After setting an instrument plugin to Bypass, then Inactive, then reverting, with no other changes (to output, volume, instrument settings, etc), that track suddenly stopped producing sound. No signal. Wasn't muted, no solo. Tried removing all plugins, changing instrument, double-checking mixer. Opened a backup to recover sound, where I tried duplicating the issue without success, despite using the same plugins and performing the same steps.

Googled this, found numerous reports of a specific track suddenly losing sound, but in most/all of those reports the users mentioned level meter activity. In my case, dead, except via the small meter in View > Edit Window Views > Instruments.

Is this a known issue? Any better workaround or suggestions than recovering a backup?
