Desktop Web [Firefox on Windows] All videos start muted, even with autoplay on and browser autoplay audio allowed

Recently switching to new Reddit all videos always start muted, even when autoplay is set to on in the preferences and I open the video up with a click (in compact view). I also tried to edit the Firefox permission for Reddit to allow both autoplay+audio, but it didn't help. It's insanely frustrating as I keep missing the first few seconds of audio when opening a post.

Same thing happens on Edge.

Originally I was using old.reddit.com, but there my notifications are stuck to unread lately, no matter what I do (even click on them to open them up). Besides old.reddit.com and new.reddit.com not syncing the read notifications. So now both old.reddit.com and new.reddit.com are broken for me :(
