One track consistently refuses to play in Multitrack (Greys out and mutes when 'Play' is started)

Hi, Newbie here.  I am using Audition Build 24 on a Mac running OS Monterey 12.6.9

 

I am editing tracks for a podcast and one track consistently deselects itself and turns the Mute button on the moment I try to play it.  (First image: it is selected and the Mute button is deselected)

 

As soon as I hit the spacebar or click the 'Play' button (second image) the track greys out and the Mute button is illuminated.

 

I seem to have managed a work-around. I created a new mono track and bounced the selection to it.  But I am curious to know if anyone else has had this problem and is it something quite simple that I am doing (an incorrect button selected, perhaps) or if it is a glitch that appeared during saving the file, or what?

But muting is something that the automation system w

Thanks very much, Steve.  I had the Automation for that track in "Latch".  And thank you for the explanation of the Mute and Solo buttons.  (I'm really on the steep part of the learning curve!)
