[Linux] Audio doesn't play or only partially plays in a WebGL build

--

-

How to reproduce:
1. Download and extract the user attached project (TheFacility.zip)
2. Host the "webgl2" build of the project on any web server
3. Connect to the web server through the local browser
4. Listen for any audio

Expected result: there is background noise and a robotic voice speaking
Actual result: there is no sound at all or only background noise without any speaking

Reproducible with: 2021.2.10f1
Could not test with: 2019.4.38f1, 2020.3.34f1, 2021.3.2f1, 2022.1.0f1, 2022.2.0a12 (the project build fails with all tested versions)

Reproducible on Ubuntu 20.04
Not reproducible on Windows 10 and mac OS

Notes:
1. Tested on Chromium and Firefox browsers
2. Not reproducible on a new project

  1. Resolution Note:

    Unity Audio does work on Linux Firefox, but you have to install gstreamer and enable it within Firefox. The problem is that AAC decoding does not work on Linux Firefox without gstreamer. While it's not ideal that it doesn't work out of the box in this case, it is difficult to find a high-quality codec that works across all browsers, and AAC is nearly universally supported.

    We will update our documentation to reflect this additional setup that's necessary on Linux Firefox. We don't officially support Chromium.
