Bug Description
Evergreen 3.1.7
Audio alerts for the Evergreen self check don't sound when the Self Check library setting "Audio Alert" is set to True.
I've tested this on our live system, the MassLNC 3.1.8 community demo server, and had confirmation that another organization isn't hearing them in 3.0.

EG 3.3.4 - In production, our self check stations do play sounds. We are using the OpenKiosk browser distribution.
When I try and test from my workstation though, I don't hear sounds, in either Chrome or Firefox. But I do in OpenKiosk V47 running on my workstation.
So I wonder if there was some recent audio api change by modern browsers that may be causing this?
Hmm, I found references to the fact that Google stopped allowing autoplay audio. /stackoverflow. com/questions/ 50490304/ how-to- make-audio- autoplay- on-chrome

When I add our evergreen site to the firefox autoplay exception list, I still don't hear any audio though. So I don't know if what evergreen is doing to play audio is what is being blocked.
