No sound until virtual power button is pressed #29

Wasn't getting any sound on Chrome, Microsoft Edge or Samsung Internet mobile browsers then discovered that virtual power button has to be pressed to get sound working. Any way to get this fixed otherwise everything else is working great so far. Thank you.

Unfortunately most browsers don't allow what's considered "autoplay" of sound when opening a web page, so you have to do some sort of user interaction before the page is allowed to play sound. The only solution I've been able to think of is requiring a click through before the emulator starts, at least in the case where sound playback is being blocked.
