What do you mean by "quit"? Does it mute? 

Could you please check what's happening using the pavucontrol tool?

When you start it, it will have a first tab, called "Playback"[1] in English.

As Kaffeine internally use libvlc for audio/video, you should see something similar to "VLC media player (LibVLC 3.x.x.x)". At the same line, there's a speaker icon. If clicked (pavucontorl changes the background color to indicate), the audio is muted.

The line below should show you the volume setting from Kaffeine app.

Please notice that the "Output Devices" will have another <mute> button and another volume.

If either one of the <muted> buttons is pressed, you won't hear anything. The same happens if the volume is zero.

[1] tip: in order to open it in English, you can call it from command line with:

    $ LANG=C pavucontrol)

You have to ...?

There an extra ")" above. It should be instead:

So even though I hadn't clicked on the speaker X cut and it wasn't 
highlighted, when I clicked on it the sound came back and now I'm 
getting the sound being cut off every time I change the channel so I'm 
not sure what happened.  It was like the speaker X was half selected but 
it did it after several reboots of Kaffeine.  Sorry to have bothered you 
as it is working fine now.  Thanks for the prompt response.  Kaffeine 
works well as a DVR on my Debian with Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1600.

Thanks, Keith
