Audio output with the Audio context does not work on Chromium

[suterma]

When using the Web Audio API (for the sound level meter in the edit view), there is no sound output. This seems to be very browser dependent.

With the current version 2.0.1 this is only known to occur on

• Chromium on Ubuntu 22.04

It does not occur on other browsers (AFAIK), and maybe also not on other platforms. Currently no problem is known with

• Google Chrome on Ubuntu 22.04
• Firefox on Ubuntu 22.04
• Brave on Ubuntu 22.04
• Vivaldi on Ubuntu 22.04
• All tested versions of Safari on various iOS/MacOS

TEST:

• Open Replayer
• Load a local file
• Play back the file (Audio Level Meter must visibly work)
• Listen to the sound output. Is there audible sound?

https://sinkid.glitch.me/ could be used to investigate. There should be a beep audible on all platforms.
