Sound does not work well on some browsers on iOS

[dcarabott]

Trying to play any clip on the following test page will result in no audible output while on iOS: https://pixijs.io/sound/examples/

Tested on the following iOS versions:
16.6
16.6.1

Tested on the following browsers:
Chrome
Safari
DuckDuckGo

It works just fine when connected to headphones. After its disconnected, trying to play a sound will result in a brief sound and it goes completely silent again.

@bigtimebuddy not sure, here the issue has nothing to do with the headphones. The sound was already not working before connecting the headphones. I've only mentioned the headphones example for more information. But yes, issue might be related.

Can you try the fix mentioned in that thread and see if that works?

@bigtimebuddy tried the fix mentioned on the other thread but it didn't work. The problem on our end doesn't start when the user switches tabs or connects/disconnects the headphones (I'm guessing this is what the workaround tried to fix). There is no sound from the get go.
