Try watching the same video off the USB on a computer and see if the audio shuts off.

My TV did the same when I tried to watch a movie on a hard drive. The reason was copy-protected material.

Could be Cinavia. This is audio based water marking. If the playback software is designed with Cinavia in mind, when it picks up the watermark, it may mute the audio. 

 

This copy protection is entirely implemented in the player, and can be used with most physical media without breaking compatability. The downside is because this copy protection exists only within the player software, a different player can be used to ignore Cinavia watermarks entirely.
