I wrote a vscode extension that creates a webview panel and I'd like to play an audio buffer when the user clicks a button on my page. I have this identical code working in a test page in a browser so I think I'm doing the webaudio part correctly.
I initialized with vscode.window.createWebviewPanel(...).
When I click the button on the page, it looks like the code is working (there are no errors thrown and the expected code path happens) but I don't hear any sound.
Is there something muting the sound in the webview? Is there something I have to do to tell vscode that sound is expected?
Or is it just impossible to make a sound in a vscode extension?
EDIT:
One more detail that I forgot to mention. I am creating the audio buffer in javascript but I am loading a number of small .mp3 files that I'm using as source. So it requires XHR to receive the .mp3 file and decodeAudioData to decode it.
