Hi,

I've been occasionally experiencing the same problem. While I don't
know the permanent fix for this, I found that if I open pavucontrol and
also play a bit of music with mpv and _only after_ this ritual open
qutebrowser, I don't have problems with missing sound anymore.

I suspect that it's got something to do with spawning some kind of
processes for pulseaudio.

Cheers,
Sergiu
