Autoplay with sound is allowed if:

• User has interacted with the domain (click, tap, etc.).
• On desktop, the user's Media Engagement Index threshold has been crossed, meaning the user has previously play video with sound.
• On mobile, the user has added the site to his or her home screen.

autoplay policy changes

looks like only MEI or having the webapp added to the homescreen on mobile. With MEI though they mention Tab with video is active—looks like audio is exempt from this (?)

as soon as playing music in the player has been initiated by the user before, it will allow auto play in the future.
only thing missing is to detect if autoplay is available, otherwise the play button is displaying "playing" but no sound is playing.
