AudioWorklet not playing on iOS 18.01

Hi, I'm facing an issuer with audio worklet in safari. This issue is clearly an iOS bug (it doesn't occur on iPad or Mac)

Here's the minimal reproduction:

  1. Go to https://googlechromelabs.github.io/web-audio-samples/audio-worklet/basic/hello-audio-worklet/
  2. Press start
  3. Audio will not be playing
  4. Open YouTube on another tab and start any video
  5. Audio from the worklet will start playing

Is this a known issue? Any plans to address that? Any workaround available?

Confirmed on ios 17.6.1 also.

I believe that AudioWorklets do work on iOS. Can you confirm that your device ringer is enabled?
