This is interesting. I see that my Firefox is set to "Block websites from
automatically playing sound". I hadn't realized that, because if I play a
YouTube video or movie trailer in Firefox, I get the sound just fine anyway.
That's confusing, but I'll try changing that permission this afternoon and
see if it works.
Thanks again.

In Webex you can also have the meeting call you, which is what
I do when I must use my phone. Generally I use computer audio,
and give Firefox permission to use it (and my camera if desired).
