The only way to fix it has been to pull out empeg and put it back in

Actually, Di, I found an easier way to get the music back. Exit the equalizer (you have to save the settings, even if you didn't really change anything) and hit the top button twice --the first press puts it into pause mode, the second press takes it out of pause and the music resumes.

Apparently there is a workaround, too, I haven't tried this but someone at empeg sent me an email... If you do all your equalizer changes using the remote instead of the front panel buttons, the audio doesn't stop.
