Sound doesn't work in Gnome Web

[forteller]

Hey. There's no sound for me when playing in the browser Gnome Web 40.0 in Ubuntu 20.10. Sound works on other pages.

Hope you can look into this. Thanks! :)

Hi, thanks for the issue, I’ll give it a try to see if there’s an easy fix. I’ve had a problem with a lot of mobile browsers because they don’t let you play sound without a user interacting with the page first. So, it will play sounds every now and then, but it can’t play them all. I’m not sure if a good way to fix it, but maybe this is unrelated!

I was able to confirm this bug, but I do not know why it happens.

Here is the error that Gnome Web reports when royalur.net tries to play sounds:

Although I never got any notification asking to play sound, and I had interacted with the page before trying to play the sound. All in all, this is a weird bug...
