   Thanks for responding Henrik.   
      
   You were correct: the mpv.conf file in the doc directory was an example.   
   As it was the only one on my system I used that where it was.   
      
   Following your idea, I found mpv looks for mpv.conf in several places   
   but it also looks for a config file in an mpv directory. I already had   
   such a file but it did not include entries such as the sample in the   
   doc directory. I tried putting the (correct for mplayer) audio device   
   in the conf file but it did not restore my sound.   
      
   Now I can try experimenting with that config file.
