If you rebooted, then the runaway script is gone and won't be

aplay and make audio, but you can't run it directly.

Yes, confusing to me too, I try only to query when I reach the end of
my limited skill set.
It seems to me like a path through Pulseaudio is broken. I will go
back and try again with all I have there, the pavolume GUI. Will
report back if I find anything, day just begins here ...
Thanks all for the suggestions, Bob

Well, I still have this annoying problem but after my effort yesterday
it appears there was a few errors in my description.
The Thunderbird notification does not use aplay, it just gets the file
and path: "file:///home/bobg/apps/audio/login.wav"
And when J aplay that same file PSvolume does not show the metering bar,
it is only showing in text that it is "Playing .wav" on the "Playback"
input and the same text on the "Output Devices" sound while nothing is
heard from the loudspeaker.
So it seems that aplay has simply stopped producing output. Other audio
sources still work as expected e.g. Thunderbird and VLC both produce
sound. Aplay from a terminal does not.
I tried "# dnf reinstall /usr/bin/aplay" and it installed "alsa-utils"
which presumably contains aplay, that made no improvement.
I am still open to suggestions, Bob
