[bug] Playing sound is not supported on linux

[shi-yan]

Describe the bug

My project needs to play audio. https://github.com/shi-yan/broca

it is implemented by doing "new Audio(url).play();" in javascript.

The url is a local mp3 file.

Things work fine on mac, but doesn't work on linux. No sound is played and no error messages either.

Reproduction

create a tauri project with a local mp3 file,

in javascript, do new Audio(url).play()

Expected behavior

Audio should be played

Platform and versions

will provide later (don't have access to my linux at the moment)

Stack trace

No crash.

Additional context

No response

What distribution have you tried this one? I was unable to recreate it with debian on WSL though I will try it again on my native PopOS (ubunutu based) laptop.

I'm using ubuntu 20.04
