About 3 days ago I noticed that when I start a game there isn't the start sound until I or my opponent makes a move. At first, I thought this might be a problem with my browser or computer (I use Firefox and Windows 10), but I tried clearing my cache but there still is no sound. I also tried using a different device, the sound in the game was fixed but when I use the analysis board there won't be any sounds until I open stockfish. This doesn't bother me a lot, but I'm curious if others have the same problem.
Is autoplay for audio enabled in site settings for lichess.org?

Yes, for both devices
I'm on firefox too and I'm having the same issue. There is no bell to alert me of a game until someone moves a piece. I checked the autoplay settings but it doesn't seem to apply.
Is there anything about audiocontext in the javascript console? asset loading errors?

Yep...I noticed this change as well. I mostly use firefox on a win 10 laptop.
Yeah I just wanted to report the same issue but then found that Orciety was faster.
The same thing is happening to me. No sound until I play my first move. Began a few days ago. Firefox, Desktop, Windows 10.
See : lichess.org/forum/lichess-feedback/no-sound-because-audiocontext#6 probably
(which is basically the link posted in #2 )
It's already selected for "Allow Audio and Video" for me. However, I did another test and the bell chimes when a pairing is found as expected. I feel like something was fixed behind the scenes, because I didn't change any settings and now it's working again.
