What is the current behavior? When a timer expires in n inactive tab, the chime doesn't play unless it has previously played in an active one.

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce Set a timer, change tabs, wait for expiration, observe audio (or lack thereof)

What is the expected behavior? Audio chime should play on active and inactive tabs

Other information This was observed in a Brave browser and Chrome.

It may be worthwhile to investigate a library like howler.js for better support.
